See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

It has a good explanation.

From the summary there:

"The "greenhouse effect" is the process by which an atmosphere warms a
planet. Mars, Venus and other celestial bodies with atmospheres (such
as Titan) have a greenhouse effects, but for simplicity the rest of
this article will refer to the case of Earth.

The term greenhouse effect may be used to refer to two different
things in common parlance: the natrual greenhouse effect, which refers
to the greenhouse effect which occurs natrually on earth, and the
enhanced (anthropogenic) greenhouse effect, which results from human
activities (see also global warming). The former is accepted by all;
the latter is a matter of some dispute."
