greenhouse
含义: A glass or transparent structure for growing plants; also used attributively in greenhouse effect and greenhouse gas to describe the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. Without it, Earth would be too cold to support life, but excess greenhouse gases from human activity have intensified the effect, driving global warming. Key greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
