If the greenhouse had no walls (like the atmosphere), warmed greenhouse air would rise by convection, escape out via the open sides, and heavy cooler air near to the ground would flow in to take its place.

The glass roof welcomes incoming solar radiation but the solid enclosure prevents this warmed inside air from escaping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In a real greenhouse, operators shut vents to prevent warm air from escaping (or open them when they wish to lower the inside temperature). They also pump CO2 into their greenhouses to encourage plant growth (but the Anti-Greens want to starve plants by restricting CO2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Earth\u2019s atmosphere has no firm roof or walls. Solar heating at the surface just causes that hot air to rise and it cools either by radiation or adiabatic expansion.
