•Because the atmosphere traps some heat and keeps it from escaping back into space too, quickly, Earth’s atmosphere is like glass in a greenhouse. It traps the sun’s energy for growing plants even in cold weather.

•The ______ of Earth’s atmosphere follows some of the same general rules. Normally, the atmosphere provides just the right amount of insulation to promote life on the planet. The 50% of the sun’s radiation that reaches the Earth is converted into infrared radiation, or heat.
