<description><![CDATA[Different types of gases like carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbon, methane, oxides of nitrogen, water vapour, etc. are present in the troposphere of the atmosphere. These gases cover the earth surface making dense canopy similar to the glass frame of an artificial greenhouse. The dense canopy of different gases allows entering the solar radiations into the earth surface but does not allow escaping out after reflection. As a result, these solar radiations are absorbed in the atmosphere with increasing temperature of the earth. The phenomenon of increasing the temperature of the earth as in artificial greenhouse is called greenhouse effect. The gases which are responsible for the greenhouse effect are called greenhouse gases. Environmental scientists estimated that the effect in the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide was 57%, chlorofluorocarbon was 25%, methane was 12% and that of oxides of nitrogen was 6%.]]></description>
