A greenhouse is like a warm, sunny house for plants that helps them grow all year round.
Imagine you're wearing a cozy blanket on a cold day, it keeps you warm by trapping the heat from your body. A greenhouse works in a similar way, but for plants. It's made of glass or plastic walls and a roof, which let sunlight in during the day. The sunlight warms up the inside, and the glass or plastic stops the warmth from escaping at night.
How it helps plants grow
Inside the greenhouse, it’s like having a warm, sunny room where plants can stay comfortable even when it's chilly outside. This means they can keep growing, all year round, no matter what season it is!
You can think of it as a special shelter for plants that keeps them happy and healthy, just like your blanket keeps you warm on a cold day.
