Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing an increase in temperature. This leads to a decrease in the reflection of solar radiation, as more heat is absorbed by the gases instead of being reflected back into space.
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
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.

Greenhouse gases
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.

The greenhouse effect causes the earth's atmosphere to hold in more heat radiation than it should. It is caused by envirormentally harmful chemicals entering the atmosphere, like carbon dioxcide. This ,in turn, causes the global temperature to increase global warming.
The Earth's atmosphere has changed over time due to various factors such as volcanic activity, changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, and natural variations in solar radiation. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have also significantly impacted the composition of the atmosphere, leading to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
