The Earth is like a warm blanket because the greenhouse effect keeps it cozy. Imagine sunlight coming in like a warm hug, and then the Earth sends heat back out, but some of that heat gets trapped, just like when you wrap yourself in a blanket at night.
Examples
- The greenhouse effect is like when you cover your thermos with a lid, it keeps the hot chocolate warm for longer.
- Greenhouse gases act like blankets that keep the Earth from getting too cold at night.
- Trapped heat works just like a blanket around the Earth, keeping us cozy enough to live there.
