What is the role of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
A) They trap some of the Sun’s heat energy within the atmosphere, helping to maintain Earth’s average temperature.
B) They prevent most of the Sun’s rays from reaching Earth, thereby preventing Earth from heating up.
C) They divert the Sun’s heat from the equator to the poles, causing the ice caps to melt, leading to global warming.
D) They destroy the ozone layer, allowing harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun to reach the surface of Earth.

Respuesta :

The Earth absorbs this energy and radiates heat energy at a longer wavelength (infrared radiation) back into the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases absorb some of this energy and radiate much of it back towards the surface whilst the rest is radiated out to space.
