The correct answer is B. The greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When sunlight hits the Earth’s atmosphere, some of the energy is reflected back to space, and some of it is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which warms the planet.
When a car is parked in the sun with its windows closed, the greenhouse effect causes the inside of the car to get very hot. The sun’s rays pass through the windows and are absorbed by the car’s interior. The heat from the sun is then trapped inside the car by the greenhouse gases in the air. This can cause the temperature inside the car to rise to dangerous levels.
The other options are incorrect. The heat emitted by the engine does contribute to the warming of the car, but it is not the main cause. The good conducting power of the metal body does not cause the car to get hot. The double layered windshield does help to keep the heat in, but it is not the main cause of the greenhouse effect.
