What reflect energy from the sun in the atmosphere?
It uses something called the "greenhouse effect." Basically, "greenhouse gases," like carbon dioxide, are in the atmosphere. These gases trap and reflect the heat shining from the sun. They keep bouncing the sun's rays back and forth, which increases the temperature of the atmosphere.
What is it called when warming of the earth has trapped carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect
