yes.
The earth's atmosphere/plasma acts as a reflector for long wave infrared radiation.
no.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
The trapping of energy from the sun by Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere to heat the Earth's surface, which then emits infrared radiation. Some of this infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, creating a warming effect that helps maintain Earth's temperature.
no way obviously not
infrared rays
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
vaporization
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
The ozone layer.
Meteorites.
You use a spaceship and break through the earths atmosphere
