Consideration is given to the components of the greenhouse effect in planetary atmospheres. A means for calculating the atmospheric greenhouse effect, defined as the difference between planetary surface temperature and brightness temperature, is presented which is based on a one-dimensional model of radiative convective equilibrium. The contributions of water vapor, CO2 and ozone to the greenhouse effect of the earth are pointed out, and the evolution of the earth greenhouse effect is traced in relation to the evolution of the atmosphere. Calculations are then presented of the potential impacts on the atmosphere of anthropogenic gaseous and aerosol components, and it is pointed out that the cloud-generated effect may prevail over the effect of CO2 warming in the near future. Consideration is then given to the greenhouse effects in the atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Jupiter as calculated on the basis of atmospheric structural and radiative models, with particular emphasis on the contributions of Venus clouds and Martian dust, and the conditions favoring an antigreenhouse effect.
