1. Greenhouse Effect You already know what it is:
Sun’s energy passes through the windshield.
Don’t write this, THINK about it !
Energy (heat) is trapped inside the car & cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the warm up.
Should I leave my dog or baby in the car?

2. What are the “other gases” that cause the greenhouse effect?
The natural warming of Earth’s surface & lower atmosphere due to trapped heat energy.
What are the “other gases” that cause the greenhouse effect?

3. Greenhouse Gases: CO2 = carbon dioxide CH4 = methane
N20 = Nitrous oxide

5. Burning of Fossil Fuels
Pollution from coal, natural gas, and oil

6. Why is Venus the hottest planet in the solar system even though Mercury is a lot closer to the Sun?
Hint: Venus has a very thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO2)
Answer:
the extra CO2 causes the greenhouse effect to be stronger by trapping more heat
Venus has an average surface temperature hot enough to melt lead!
