How accurate is the term “the greenhouse effect” as related to actual greenhouses?

Completely accurate
Fairly accurate
Slightly accurate
Not at all accurate

Explanation

Answer: B - The term “the greenhouse effect” is a fairly accurate name for the atmospheric process as it relates to the physics of actual greenhouses. It is not completely accurate in that greenhouses trap heat via a solid surface (e.g., glass or fiberglass) while the greenhouse effect traps heat via greenhouse gases. However, many of the same principles apply to both the greenhouse effect and actual greenhouses.
