By increasing the abundance of these gases in the atmosphere, humankind is increasing the overall warming of the Earth s surface and lower atmosphere, a process called global warming.. The figure below illustrates the radiation balance and the role of greenhouse effect. Illustration of the Earth s radiative balance.
Greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere absorb and then redirect some of this heat back towards the Earth. The greenhouse effect is a major factor in keeping the Earth warm because it keeps some of the planet's heat that would otherwise escape from the atmosphere out to space.o the more greenhouse gases you have in the atmosphere, the more heat stays on Earth. If the amount of energy from the sun and the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere remain the same, then the average temperature on Earth will also be constant. But this is no longer the case.
