greenhouse effect (environmental concepts, Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Phenomenon whereby the surface and the lower atmosphere of a planet are maintained at a relatively high temperature owing to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation from the planet. It is so-called because the heating of Earth's atmosphere is loosely analogous to the glass of a greenhouse letting light in but not letting heat out. The term is often used to refer specifically to the increased magnitude of this effect occurring in the modern age in the context of global warming: Gases from the burning of fossil fuels and other sources, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons, absorb infrared radiation and prevent its energy from leaving the Earth, resulting in the increasing mean global surface temperature.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 氣層接收到的太陽輻射，再吸收地球反射的紅外線，可讓地球表面及低層大氣維持一定高溫。地球的大氣層好比溫室玻璃，可讓陽光透入，卻不讓熱能外流。現今多用指日益嚴重的全球暖化效應：由於燃燒化石燃料及水蒸氣、二氧化碳、甲烷、及氟氯碳化物等產生排放的氣體，經過紅外綫輻射吸收留住能量，導致全球表面溫度升高。 |
| Dutch ..... Fenomeen waarbij de oppervlakte en de onderste lagen van de dampkring van een planeet blijvend een relatief hoge temperatuur hebben, omdat de dampkring meer zichtbare straling van de zon doorlaat dan infrarode straling van de planeet. Het wordt zo genoemd omdat de dampkring van de aarde enigszins is te vergelijken met het glas van een broeikas, dat licht binnenlaat maar geen warmte laat ontsnappen. De term wordt vaak gebruikt om specifiek te verwijzen naar de toegenomen omvang van dit effect in de moderne tijd, in samenhang met de opwarming van de aarde: gassen die vrijkomen na de verbranding van fossiele brandstoffen en andere bronnen - zoals waterdamp, koolstofdioxide, methaan en chloorfluorkoolstofverbindingen - absorberen infrarode straling, waardoor de vrijgekomen energie de aarde niet kan verlaten. Dit leidt tot een verhoging van de gemiddelde oppervlaktetemperatuur op aarde. |
