Featured Article: Greenhouse gas Pattern of absorption bands created by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and their effect on both solar radiation and upgoing thermal radiation Greenhouse gases (GHGs) is the name given to a number of gases present in the earth's atmosphere which reduce the loss of heat into space and therefore contribute to global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. These gases are essential to maintaining the temperature of the Earth and without them the planet would be so cold as to be uninhabitable. The most important greenhouse gas is water vapor which creates clouds. The vast bulk of this is produced by the natural process of evaporation of water from the sea. An excess of greenhouse gases can raise the temperature of a planet to lethal levels. Popular Article: Marshall Plan Map of Europe showing countries that received Marshall Plan aid.
