PHYSICS - Radiation - Emitting Radiation

The video explores the concept of radiation, focusing on infrared radiation and its various applications, such as temperature monitoring and communication. It explains the greenhouse effect, where the Earth's atmosphere acts as insulation, maintaining a stable temperature. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased greenhouse gases, leading to global warming and climate change. The video emphasizes the need to balance retaining the sun's radiation to maintain Earth's temperature without causing excessive warming.

In what ways does global warming affect climate and weather patterns?

Why is it important to balance the amount of infrared radiation retained by the Earth?
