Imagine Earth as a cozy house. The sun sends heat in, and the greenhouse effect acts like a blanket that keeps it warm inside, just like when you cover your windows on a cold day. But if too many blankets are piled up, the house gets too hot! That’s what is happening now with more carbon dioxide, which makes the blanket thicker and traps even more heat.
Examples
- When you leave your greenhouse effect on, like a thick blanket, the room gets warmer.
- Carbon dioxide is like extra blankets in the atmosphere that trap more heat.
- Imagine Earth as a house with windows; if we cover them all, it gets hotter inside.
