Greenhouse Effect

The atmospheric phenomenon is that the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it might be without this atmosphere.

Radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) during a planet's atmosphere radiate energy altogether directions. Part of this radiation energy is directed to the surface, by warming it. The intensity of the downward radiation – that's, the strength of the atmospheric phenomenon – will depend upon the atmosphere's temperature and on the quantity of greenhouse gases that the atmosphere contains.

Earth's natural atmospheric phenomenon is critical to supporting life, and initially was a precursor to life moving out of the ocean ashore . Human activities, however, mainly the burning of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests, have accelerated the atmospheric phenomenon and caused heating.

The planet Venus experienced runaway atmospheric phenomenon, leading to an environment which is 96% CO2, with surface air pressure roughly an equivalent as found 900 m (3,000 ft) underwater on Earth. Venus may have had water oceans, but they might have boiled off because the mean surface temperature rose to the present 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F).
