Greenhouse Effect

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to stay warm on a chilly night by wrapping yourself in a blanket. Just like how the blanket traps your body heat to keep you warm, the Earth's atmosphere traps heat from the sun to warm the planet. In this analogy, the blanket represents the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, your body is like the Earth, and the heat being trapped is similar to solar energy being held by these gases, preventing it from escaping back into space.
