Definition

  1. 1
    Fenómeno por el que determinados gases componentes de una atmósfera planetaria retienen parte de la energía que el suelo emite por haber sido calentado por la radiación solar. Afecta a todos los cuerpos planetarios dotados de atmósfera. De acuerdo con el actual consenso científico, el efecto invernadero se está viendo acentuado en la Tierra por la emisión de ciertos gases, como el dióxido de carbono y el metano, debida a la actividad económica humana. Este fenómeno evita que la energía recibida constantemente del Sol por la Tierra vuelva inmediatamente al espacio.
