a ) Sunlight warms your car
The greenhouse effect refers to the process by which certain gases in a planet's atmosphere trap heat, preventing it from escaping into space, thus warming the planet's surface. An analogy often used to explain this is the way sunlight warms the interior of a car. When sunlight passes through the car's windows, it warms the surfaces inside. These surfaces then emit heat, but the glass windows trap the heat inside, causing the temperature within the car to rise. This is similar to how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
