Many planetary bodies show the Green House Effect. In our solar System, Mars and Venus show the Green House Effect, but Titan, the largest planet of Saturn and...
In the Green House Effect, the thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated. Due to this, the temperature of the...
Greenhouse gases are gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted...
