The Greenhouse effect is great, but bad in excess. The greenhouse effect with its greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, water vapor, etc.) allows the Earth to trap in heat from the sun, making Earth habitable for life. Without the trapping of heat, ALL the heat from the sun that the Earth takes in would leave the Earth instead of being absorbed. Earth would be too cold for life. However, when there are excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, too much heat is trapped, making Earth warmer. This is important to understand in studying climate change because we, as humans, are accelerating natural climate change. Therefore, we are threatening life on Earth because warming the Earth in excess will have many effects, many of which we don't even know! Greenhouse gases from human activities are a significant driver of climate change.
Greenhouses have nothing to do with it, but the heat trapping quality of CO2 in the air is called the greenhouse effect because it is a similar to a greenhouse traps heat. Personally, I think it should be called the parked car effect
The molecules of greenhouse gases are unaffected by sunlight. Sunlight passes right through. The sunlight hits the earth and is reflected back towards space. Infrared causes greenhouse molecules to vibrate and redirect the heat energy in all directions: up, down, and to other molecules. It takes longer for the heat to escape to space, and thus the atmosphere gets warmer. That is the greenhouse effect, it slows the escape of heat and keeps us warmer than would be without it. With no greenhouse effect the earth would not be warm enough for life.
As we add more greenhouse molecules to the air, more heat remains trapped and the atmosphere gets warmer.

When you add more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, a larger portion of the infrared spectrum is blocked, causing warming.
Greenhouse effect has nothing to do with climate change, greenhouse raises temperature by restricting convection, if you leave the doors and vent open, temperature drops rapidly.
Prevents heat from leaving.
yes
What exactly does it have to do or relate to global warming?
