Solution
The greenhouse is a glasshouse constructed to keep delicate and rare plants that require warmth and protection from the weather. It is constructed by panels of glass. The temperature in a green house rises because heat enters the house through the glass but cannot escape out, because the glass reflects the heat back to the inside of the house. This makes the glasshouse warmer than the outside environment. This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect.
