Scientists generally agree that Earth is getting warmer due to what's called the greenhouse effect. A
greenhouse used for plants stays warm because sunlight and heat coming through the glass roof are mostly
trapped. The heat doesn't radiate back into the atmosphere because it's partly trapped by the glass.
Something like that happens on Earth. The atmosphere acts like a blanket that keeps the Sun's heat from
leaking away into space.
