Greenhouse
Place for plants
A greenhouse is a structure with glass or plastic walls and roof, designed to trap heat from sunlight for growing plants.
The warmth allows cultivation of plants that wouldn't survive local outdoor conditions: tomatoes in the greenhouse, a greenhouse full of orchids.
The greenhouse effect describes how gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat similarly, leading to global warming.
As an adjective, greenhouse modifies things related to this effect: greenhouse gases, greenhouse emissions.
