What happens to the sun's energy when it passes through the car's windshield according to the greenhouse effect?

• It is completely reflected back into the atmosphere.

• It causes the car's windshield to shatter.

• It is re-radiated from the car's interior and cannot pass back through the windshield, warming up the car.

• It turns into sound energy inside the car.
