What is the Greenhouse effect order?

The greenhouse effect is a natural process in which certain gases in Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat from the sun. This process begins when sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, warming it. The Earth then emits this heat as infrared radiation, which is partially absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases, keeping the planet warm enough to sustain life. While essential for maintaining a livable climate, an excess of greenhouse gases can enhance this effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
