GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The Sun's rays take about
8 minutes to get to Earth.
Some of the rays bounce all the way back into Space.
Some of the rays get trapped in the air by invisible
greenhouse gasses.
Greenhouse gasses trap heat in our air.
Now, our water and land
have heat..
Because of the GHE we have a planet that is warm enough to live on.
The Greenhouse Effect (GHE) happens naturally and gives us a warm planet to live on.
The GHE warms our air and water because of the Sun's rays and greenhouse gases.
This is how it happens.
 | ||||
| ||||
The greenhouse effect starts with the sun.
Most of the rays
bounce off the ground.
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
Carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane trap the rays.
| ||||
| ||||
Greenhouse gasses send the heat back to our ground and our oceans.

Water
is a greenhouse gas.
Carbon Dioxide
is a greenhouse gas.
Methane
is a greenhouse gas.
The Sun sends out sunrays.
| ||||
The Sun sends out its rays to Earth.
8 minutes.
Sunrays bounce like a ball.
High bouncing rays.
Some rays go back into the air after the ground is warmed.
Carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane are greenhouse gasses.
Greenhouse gasses stop the heat rays from going into Space.
The gasses send the heat back down.
We have a warm enough planet to live on.
