- Surface heating can happen from an internal heat source or come from an external source, such as a host star.
- In the case of Earth, the Sun emits shortwave radiation that passes through greenhouse gases to heat the Earth's surface.
- In response, the Earth's surface emits longwave radiation that is mostly absorbed by greenhouse gases, reducing the rate at which the Earth can cool off.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Greenhouse effect article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
