The+Greenhouse+Efect

**Greenhouse effect**
Much like a greenhouse the earths ozone layer traps the energy radiated from the sun in the atmosphere,This is much like a greenhouse, the opaque wall traps the solar radiation, which came in through the window from the sun, but in this case the radiation penetrates the atmosphere instead of glass and is trapped by the atmosphere itself. As humans increase consumption more gasses are added to the ozone, which will trap more solar radiation, which means the earth will warm up. Here is a large scale picture of what is happening. incoming radiation from the sun hits the earth and is reflected back outwards, most escapes back out of the atmosphere, but due to greenhouse gasses some if reflected back into the atmosphere, and thus the solar radiation becomes excess heat and warms the earth, hence global warming.

A homemade video just for you. media type="file" key="global warming.mov" width="300" height="300"in this video the snake looking arrows are representing rays of solar radiation, the yellow thing in the left corner is the sun, and the blue band is the atmosphere, and the green mound is the earth, and yes the atmosphere is 3 cm away from the sun and 4 cm away from the earth, but it isn't drawn to scale.

Just a comic waring about the future of global warming.
