How Does A Greenhouse Capture Heat

The greenhouse uses a special type of glass which acts as a selective transmission medium

spectral frequencies. Specter comes from the word "spectrum".

In simple terms, the spectral frequency can be defined according to the following principle: viz

An object in the universe that emits, radiates or transmits light. This light is distributed along

The electromagnetic spectrum is determined by body composition.

Therefore, the greenhouse glass traps the energy inside the greenhouse and the heat in turn

It provides heat to the plants and the soil inside the greenhouse. The air is heated nearby

land and prevent it from climbing up and out of the bounds of the structure.

For example, if you open a small window near the roof of a greenhouse, the temperature drops

Significantly. This is due to the automatic self-ventilating cooling system. The autovent is simply that

Device used in greenhouses that maintains the temperature inside. this is the way

Greenhouses trap electromagnetic radiation and prevent convection (transfer of heat by

currents in a fluid).

Curious to know how the idea of a greenhouse came about? back to days

The Romans, who - as recorded history shows - were the first to create a protective structure

plants. Using heated pits, they laid slabs of rock to form primitive greenhouses. term

The "glass house", which is the correct name of this structure, was adopted in the 17th and 17th centuries

XVIIIth century.

However, at that time, the mistake was to believe that heat is more important than light

plants to thrive. Structures were built to exclude the entry of light, but the moment it was

The glass tax of 1845 was repealed and the design of greenhouses began to change.

Builders then realized that a curved roof rather than a flat roof allowed for higher concentrations of

sunlight, using iron instead of wood, the greenhouse can be structural

Improved and able to absorb more light
