How do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere affect Earth's temperature?

  this is for my written response

Answer: The greenhouse gases cause Earth's surface to heat up from the sunlight.

Explanation: The greenhouse gases causes the Earth's surface to warm up in the morning and at night, the surface cools down. When it cools down, that gives the heat a chance to get back into the air, but some of the heat is trapped (which is caused by the greenhouse gases). That's why, on average, Earth stays at 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
