Hmm, I wonder. Think of earth as a house with a glass roof, where greenhouse gases act like the glass. These gases, mainly carbon dioxide, CO2 methane, CH four, nitrous oxide N two O and water vapor form a blanket around the earth. While the sun’s rays can enter this blanket traps heat, preventing it from escaping back into space, this natural greenhouse effect keeps our planet warm enough to support life without it.
Earth’s average temperature would be about minus 18 degrees Celsius, zero degrees Fahrenheit, instead of the current 15 degrees Celsius, 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Too cold for most life forms.
