Earth's atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide. When heat from the sun penetrates the atmosphere, the carbon dioxide makes it hard to return back to space. So minimal heat gets reflected. This is what you call the greenhouse effect. The heat gets trapped inside our atmosphere. This is global warming.
