They're ... radiated. Outward. Some of them get absorbed by stuff (trees, buildings, clouds, the atmosphere itself), some of them get reflected by stuff (trees, buildings, clouds, the atmosphere itself), some of them get scattered by stuff (you know the drill), some of them make it out of the atmosphere.
The ozone layer performs a unique role in absorbing UV-B from our Sun, a role no other common gas performs. Additionally, ozone absorbs uniquely a band of far infrared radiation, that otherwise has absolutely no harmful effects on life on Earth. Infrared presents no risk to life, but can serve to keep Earth warm. yes or no?
Yes, Earth receives various types of rays from the sun, such as visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared radiation. These rays play a role in sustaining life on our planet by providing energy for photosynthesis and regulating the climate. Earth's atmosphere also helps to filter out harmful rays, like most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
The Earth's atmosphere blocks most gamma rays and X-rays, which are high-energy wavelengths. While some infrared light and microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere, a significant portion of infrared light is absorbed by water vapor and carbon dioxide. Visible light, on the other hand, passes through the atmosphere relatively unimpeded.
The rays of the sun are streams of energy that travel through space and reach Earth, providing light and warmth. These rays are made up of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation.

Infra-red rays.
Far infrared rays are, corresponding to lower temperatures, but not near infrared which corresponds to warmer temps.
global warming i guess?!
infrared rays
If we consider sun as planet, I would say that the solar flames covering the sun acts like a shield [similar to the atmosphere acting as a shield for the earth].In that case there might even be life existence in the sun. If this assumption comes true then i would say that the earth gives out wind energy, because we consider the sun's shield the solar flames to give out heat energy, similarly we can just say that the earth's shield the atmosphere gives out wind energy. this is just my assumption!
Ozone gas in earth's atmosphere absorbs UV rays. It does not absorb infrared rays.
Infrared Heat.
The earth, the sun, stars, and galaxies emit infrared rays.
It gets absorbed by the surface, reflected, and even radiated back as infrared rays where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
About 8 minutes ago.
The main heating rays of the sun are known as infrared radiation. These rays penetrate the Earth's atmosphere and heat up its surface, contributing to the warming of the planet. The Earth then re-emits this heat as longer-wavelength infrared radiation.
