That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
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.
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
The process you are referring to is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when the sun's energy heats up water on the Earth's surface, causing it to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
Solar energy trapped in the biosphere through processes like photosynthesis contributes to the Earth's overall energy budget. This leads to the regulation of temperatures and influences climate patterns by affecting the distribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere. The biosphere plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of greenhouse gases, which in turn impacts the Earth's climate system.
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
The energy that gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere from the sun is called solar radiation. This energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and contributes to the warming of the planet through a process known as the greenhouse effect.

Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.

The process is very well-known in Biology called the Photosynthesis. It plays an role in plants because plants get it energy from sun.
