Answer: Green house effect is the process affected by the absorption of the thermal energy from the sun.

Explanation:

Green house effect is the process in which the thermal energy is received from the sun. This thermal energy warms the earth's surface. Some sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere and some are reflected to the space. The rest is mostly absorbed by the water vapor and carbon dioxide and some are re-radiated by the green house gases.

This effects maintains the earth's temperature.

Therefore, green house effect is the process affected by the absorption of the thermal energy from the sun.
