There are an infinite number of wavelengths absorbed by the atmosphere. There are an infinite number of wavelengths that aren't absorbed by the atmosphere.
Electromagnetic radiations having wavelength between range of 5-8micrometer are absorbed by the atmosphere.

What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
What gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation and Which gases absorb ultraviolet?
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.

What is caused by gases in the atmosphere that absorb radiation and transfer heat?
greenhouse effect
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
What are greenhouse gases and how they are greenhouse gases?
Those gasses that allow the passage of shorter wavelength energy such as light but reflect or absorb longer wavelength energy such as heat. The main such gasses in our atmosphere are water vapour and carbon dioxide.
What are the gasses?
Greenhouse gasses are gases in the atmosphere that absorb, and that emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
How greenhouse gasses can be absorbed?
Greenhouse gases absorb infra red radiation (heat) coming back up from the warmed earth. They hold this heat, and in turn warm up the air around them, as well as warming the earth's surface again.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
How can gases in the atmosphere affect radiation?
NONE
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
