TRAPPING HEAT
A greenhouse is any structure that is designed to take
in the suns energy and trap it as heat.
The energy given off by the sun is called solar radiation.
Some solar radiation is reflected back out of the
greenhouse but some of it hits surfaces within the
greenhouse and warms them up. These warm objects
warm up the air around them and the temperature of the
greenhouse goes up.
The greenhouse is sealed so the warm air cant escape
and the heat is trapped inside of it.

GREENHOUSE GASES
Greenhouse gases are transparent (clear) gases that
allow the solar energy of the Sun through to hit the Earth
but do not allow the heat to escape.
Its like a one-way door light gets in but heat
cant get out.
