Optimum Environment: Whether it is herbs or vegetables you grow, if you are a long-time gardener, you will know that plants love environments that are warm and humid. You can use the greenhouse gardening method and place your plants in a growing environment that enhances their growth. The main purpose of a greenhouse is securing a reasonable amount of heat and water vapors so that warmth and humidity is maintained within the greenhouse. All- Season Garden: Many gardeners face one common problem and that is not being able to plant certain seeds because of an unsuitable season.
When you own a greenhouse, you do not need to worry about this. You have control over the temperature of the garden with a greenhouse and you can start planting seasonal plants earlier than others or delay it.
Great Garden Design: Like gazebos and pergolas, you can obtain a wonderful greenhouse design that suits your landscape perfectly. You do not have to worry about landscape design as there are greenhouse designs of different sizes and shapes.
You can attain a beautiful garden design with a profound greenhouse laid across your garden. Like these other structures, you can create a space that has a purpose and adds visual appeal to your outdoor area at the same time. Save Money: You can easily spend a fortune on plants every spring, but still wish for more flowers to fill in your garden even after spending all that money.
When you have a greenhouse, you can grow as many seeds as you want and most times, you will have more than enough greenhouse plants to give away to others. This means that you can save a lot of money on plants. Fuss-Free Customizations: If you prefer to have a greenhouse that is unique to others that you have seen or have specific requirements for your plants, you do not have to stress as customizing greenhouses is easy. In fact, building your own greenhouse is easier than building a patio deck or pond.
You can easily customize the placement of plants, number of doors, size, position of the storage area, and more. But what if Earth's atmosphere started to behave like a too-hot greenhouse? Don't forget, we cannot open Earth's windows or doors to cool it off. Earth as a closed-up greenhouse would soon grow to be ghastly! If you made our Gummy Greenhouse Gas models, you may wonder why the molecules you made with gumdrops are called greenhouse gases.
Here is why: If the atmosphere contains too much of these gases, the whole Earth becomes a hotter and hotter greenhouse. The atmosphere holds onto too much of the heat at night instead of letting it escape into space.
Then, the next day, the Sun heats Earth's surface even more. If the atmosphere works too well as a greenhouse, each day gets a little warmer and a little warmer. We may not be able to measure this effect from day to day or even year to year. But over tens of years, a few degrees of warming starts causing changes. For example, ice melts in the North and South Pole regions.
All this new liquid water raises the sea level. Cities built on coastlines could someday be under water! When the oceans get warmer, weather is affected everywhere. Some places have more severe storms and other places have hardly any rain at all.
And many other changes could occur that would be bad for humans and other living things. Some of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are caused by humans. Whenever we burn anything, such as—. Although carbon monoxide does not act as a greenhouse gas, it is poisonous to breathe. Gumdrop model of a carbon dioxide molecule, CO 2. It has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms all bonded together.
Gumdrop model of a carbon monoxide molecule, CO. It has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom bonded together. Our livestock cows, pigs, and chickens, for example also pollute the atmosphere with methane from their digestion process. Gumdrop model of a methane molecule, CH 4. It has one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms all bonded together. Its glass walls trap the Sun's heat, which keeps plants inside the greenhouse warm — even on cold nights.
The greenhouse effect works much the same way on Earth. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide , trap heat similar to the glass roof of a greenhouse. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. During the day, the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up in the sunlight. At night, Earth's surface cools, releasing heat back into the air.
But some of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That's what keeps our Earth a warm and cozy 58 degrees Fahrenheit 14 degrees Celsius , on average. Earth's atmosphere traps some of the Sun's heat, preventing it from escaping back into space at night.
Human activities are changing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil puts more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere.
NASA has observed increases in the amount of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
