Amazing World of Greenhouses

A glass greenhouse is still among the most preferred types though many types are available today. As much as it looks appealing to eyes, it has numerous advantages over its counterparts. For starters, heat trapping in glass greenhouses happens by light wave transformation just as atmosphere on the earth protects us from the sun. The UV or ultraviolet rays, light waves and infrared rays from the sun are converted into heat energy and since heat waves have large wavelengths, they remain trapped inside the glass making the greenhouse warm.
