i have those questions need to be answered.

Describe the greenhouse effect using physics terminology and concepts. Describe how the greenhouse effect is relevant for planet earth and to global warming. Describe one scientific/technical challenge that must be overcome in order to address global warming. Describe one political/public policy challenge that must be overcome in order to address global warming. Describe one change you could make in your lifestyle that would be related to global warming or state why you don't believe we need to address global warming.

Explanation / Answer

1.)Greenhouse effect using physics terminology and concepts

The greenhouse effect refers to circumstances where the short wavelengths ofvisible light from the sun pass through a transparent medium and are absorbed, but the longer wavelengths of the infrared re-radiation from the heated objects are unable to pass through that medium. The trapping of the long wavelength radiation leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature. Besides the heating of an automobile by sunlight through the windshield and the namesake example of heating the greenhouse by sunlight passing through sealed, transparent windows, the greenhouse effect has been widely used to describe the trapping of excess heat by the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide strongly absorbs infrared and does not allow as much of it to escape into space.

2.) How the greenhouse effect is related to global warming

The average temperature of earth has gone up by 4 to 5
