A greenhouse is a building with glass or transparent walls and roof designed to grow plants by providing them with sunlight and maintaining a warm environment inside.
Usage examples
Greenhouse: A structure with transparent walls and a roof, typically made of glass or plastic, used for growing plants and controlling their environment.
Greenhouse gases: Gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Greenhouse effect: The process in which greenhouse gases allow sunlight to enter the Earth's atmosphere but prevent some of the resulting heat from escaping back into space, leading to a warming effect on the planet.
Greenhouse gas emissions: The release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, primarily from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
Greenhouse farming: The practice of growing crops inside a greenhouse, allowing for extended growing seasons, protection from pests, and control over temperature, humidity, and light conditions.
Greenhouse effect on Earth: Without the natural greenhouse effect, the Earth's average temperature would be around -18°C (0°F) instead of the current approximately 15°C (59°F). However, human activities have significantly enhanced the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
Greenhouse construction: The process of building a greenhouse, which involves selecting suitable materials, designing the structure, ensuring proper ventilation, and installing necessary equipment for temperature and humidity control.
Greenhouse gases regulations: Policies and regulations implemented at national and international levels to manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to mitigate climate change and preserve the environment.
Greenhouse gas footprint: The total amount of greenhouse gases released directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, or activity, often measured in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It reflects the impact on climate change caused by specific actions or operations.
Greenhouse gas inventory: A detailed record of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a particular entity or activity, including measurements, calculations, and documentation. It helps assess the environmental performance and identify opportunities for emission reduction.
