What does this diagram illustrate?

• Ozone Layer
• The Greenhouse Effect
• Ultraviolet Radiation
• Layers of the atmosphere

This traps heat and absorbs gases (carbon dioxide, methane..) and keeps the earth warm. Allowing heat to go back into space prevents Earth from becoming too warm

• Ozone Layer
• The Greenhouse Effect
• Greenhouse Gases
• Mesosphere
