Question

in the atmosphere. by absorbing infrared radiation, greenhouse gases also trap heat ne earths surface. this trapping of infrared radiation and heat near earths surface is kno the greenhouse effect.
complete the sentence.
the greenhouse effect warms earth because the atmosphere holds ______ it would if it did not contain any greenhouse gases.
less infrared radiation than
more infrared radiation than
the same amount of infrared radiation as

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect occurs because greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation. This absorption traps more heat (in the form of infrared radiation) near the Earth's surface compared to a situation without greenhouse gases. If there were no greenhouse gases, more infrared radiation would escape into space. So, the atmosphere with greenhouse gases holds more infrared radiation than it would without them.

Answer:

more infrared radiation than
