Greenhouse Gases Intro

What is the role of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

• They cool the Earth's surface.

• They trap heat in the atmosphere.

• They absorb sunlight and release it as cold air.

• They reflect all sunlight back into space.

What is the Greenhouse Effect?

• Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms the Earth's surface.

• Sunlight is blocked by the atmosphere and cools the Earth's surface.

• The Earth's surface absorbs sunlight and releases it as cold air.

• Sunlight is reflected back into space without affecting the Earth's surface.
