The greenhouse effect is the overall increase of temperature of the world due to the increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap some of the heat that the Earth receives from the sun.

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.

The proper defination for greenhouse effect is--The process in which heat energy is absorbed by some gases present in atmosphere.

Hi. It's when extra gas gets into the atmosphere and blocks heat from escaping back into space, like a greenhouse traps heat.
