What is the greenhouse effect?

the natural process where the sun's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the earth warm enough for life

a process that is destroying the environment

a process that is melting the polar ice caps

a process that cools the earth so it does not get too hot

A or the first one, the natural process where the sun 's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the earth warm enough for life.

Edit the post so i can see the letters for each answer, and increase the points required so i'd be able to answer it.

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
