Global warming is simply known as climate change. It happens mostly due to the atmosphere and pollution. Our planet's atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds it. It contains up to five layers of the atmosphere; they are the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. The atmosphere protects us from direct sun rays, keeps the temperature comfortable, allows the water to circulate through the planet, protects us from meteoroids, and provides us with gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Pollution means harmful and unwanted substances in our environment. It can directly contaminate water and soil. Pollution is mostly divided into four types: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. It damages greenhouse gases. "Greenhouse gases" are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat around the earth.
