Question
the greenhouse effect
some solar radiation is reflected by the earth and the atmosphere.
some of the infrared radiation passes through the atmosphere. some is absorbed and re - emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules. the effect of this is to warm the earths surface and the lower atmosphere.
infrared radiation is emitted by the earths surface
what occurs when incoming solar radiation strikes earth and slows down becoming unable to escape earths atmosphere due to greenhouse gases?
uv radiation
climate change
albedo
greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere trap incoming solar - related infrared radiation that would otherwise escape. This leads to warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. UV radiation is a different type of solar radiation. Climate change is a long - term consequence of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Albedo is the reflectivity of the Earth's surface.
