The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. An enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by increased concentrations of these gases due to human activities, leads to an increase in the Earth's average temperature, known as global warming.
