Gizmo Warm-up
Like the windows of a car, greenhouse gases play
a major role in regulating Earth’s climate. Without
the gases that trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere,
Earth would be a frigid desert like Mars (average
temperature -55°C, or -67°F). Too much greenhouse
gas and Earth could be a fiery inferno like Venus
(average temperature 450°C, or 850°F).

Greenhouse gases to 0% and the Simulation
speed to fast.

2. Now set the Greenhouse gases to 100% and let the simulation run for a while. How does a
maximum amount of greenhouse gas affect the temperature?
