Have you cver seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look Iike a smali glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially tn' the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun. The glass panels of the greenhouse iet in light but keep heat from escaping. This causes the greenhouse to heat up, much Iike the inside of a car parked in sunlight, and keeps the plants warm enough to live in the winter.
