What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?

• The glass allows long wavelengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of short wavelength radiation that escapes.

• The glass allows short wavelengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long wavelength radiation that escapes.

• The glass allows all wavelengths of radiation to enter and all wavelengths of radiation to escape.

• The glass reduces the amount of solar radiation entering the greenhouse.

Why is the Ozone important to life on Earth?

• A.   The Ozone reflects all the Ultra Violet radiation
• A.  The Ozone absorbs all the heat that come up from the Earth.
• The Ozone provides all the oxygen to Earth.
• The Ozone protects the Earth’ s atmosphere and the life on Earth from harmful radiant energy emitted by the sun
