Gases in the atmosphere, such as During the day, the Sun shines through the atmosphere. This means the heat energy travels though it eventually to escape to the outside world. Different materials take different amounts of energy to heat up (bricks take longer to get warm than dirt or gravel), a characteristic known as Adding a brick floor to your greenhouse means that it will take longer for the building to heat up during the day, but during the night, all that extra heat energy will slowly be released into the air inside the greenhouse. That's what keeps our Earth a warm and cozy 58 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius), on average.Earth's atmosphere traps some of the Sun's heat, preventing it from escaping back into space at night. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil puts more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere.NASA has observed increases in the amount of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Light rays from the sun enter the greenhouse, where they are absorbed by plants and objects and converted to heat. A greenhouse works by converting light energy into heat energy. Unfortunately, the increased carbon dioxide in the ocean changes the water, making it more acidic.
Warming oceans — from too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere — can also be harmful to these organisms. Greenhouses Trap Heat and Light.
