ok greenhouse effect is the trapping heat in the form of infrared raditions. let we take example of a car parked in the sun during day.
when we open doors interior seems too hot. this is due to green house effect. what happens that glass allows heat or infrared rays to come in but does not allows it to escape. We all know that heat generation is due to infrared rays. So if there is too much heat anywhere there infrared rays have shorter wavelength and place having low heat have infrared rays with longerwavelength .
So rays with shorter wavelength enter in car but heat inside car is less compared to outer environment. Sorays with longer wavelength become unable to escape out as they have less penetrating power.

Greenhouses get hot because while ordinary sunlight passes through the window panes, after it strikes the ground a portion of is converted into intrared light, which is subsequently unable to pass out the window panes. Thus, energy is trapped, and temperatures rise. Likewise, the presence of C02 in the earth's atmosphere has the same effect as the windowpanes of the greenhouse, and is the cause of global warming.

A simple explanation: the earthh's atmosphere allows sunlight to pass through but because of the atmosphere being concentrated with gases such carbon dioxide, etc, the heat from the sun cannot bounce back out into the atmosphere. As a result the earth heats up because the heat cannot escape.

basically the greenhouse effect is the warming up of the planet.
this happens naturally but also it happens because of the ozone depletion which lets the uvs of the sun in and thereby warming the earth and also all the pollution we put in the sky, water, air, etc contributes to the greenhouse effect...

Assuming that you mean 'greenhouse effect' -- google's top 10 links for "grennhouse effect" are all mis-spellings, you should find these two links useful.
