In at least three or more sentences, explain the greenhouse effect and provide at least five examples of greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse effect is a process in which the Earth's surface becomes warmer. During this process, energy from the sun is trapped by greenhouse gases instead of being reflected back to space. The trapped energy is what keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain living organisms. Carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and water vapor are some of the greenhouse gases.
