The sunlight and heat are trapped by greenhouse gases, which warm the atmosphere.
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms earth’s surface.
Most of the heat is reflected back into space, whereas most of the sunlight passes through the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reflect most of the energy back down to earth, reheating its surface.
Most of the energy passes through the atmosphere and back out into space.
Some energy escapes into space, and some is absorbed by greenhouse gases and remains trapped in the atmosphere, heating the air.
A) increased amounts of escaped heat
B) increased amounts of reflected energy
C) decreased amounts of escaped heat and increased amounts of trapped heat
D) increased amounts of reflected energy and increased amounts of trapped heat
