Changing the amount of heat = changing the temperature latent heat of vaporization: amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of liquid into a vapor without a change in temperature water = 2257 kj/kg CO2 = 574 kj/kg water absorbs lots of heat! The greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat by the tropopause. Life on earth could not exist without it. Radiant energy is both absorbed by the ground and reflected back to the atmosphere. Heavy greenhouse gases in the troposphere such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane absorb the reflected energy and reflect it back to earth. Much of the heat is trapped like a blanket. The amount of energy trapped depends on the contents of the troposphere. Venus has a much thicker atmosphere causing its average temperature to be almost 900°F, while Mars has a much thinner atmosphere causing its average temperature to be around -81°F.
