Question

Which of the following best describes the greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

A-Heat on Earth escapes the layers of gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide.
B- Acid rain, which falls on the Earth, ultimately increases the heat of the ground.
C- Heat on Earth becomes trapped by layers of gases such as carbon dioxide.
D- Smog will trap heat and creates a haze over small cities.

Answer 2

A planet's surface absorbs visible sunlight and returns this absorbed energy to space as infrared light. Greenhouse gases slow the escape of this infrared radiation, which thereby heats the lower atmosphere.
