What is the Greenhouse Effect_ - The Environment for Kids (Updated Version)

Educational video for children to learn what the Greenhouse Effect is and how it works. The Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, a thin gaseous layer which allows part of the solar radiation to penetrate. To do that, this layer contains gases called "greenhouse effect gases", whose mission is to absorb part of that, and maintain the temperature of the planet. One of the main greenhouse effect gases is CO2, also known as carbon dioxide.
