The given diagram illustrates the process of trapping greenhouse
gases
from the Sun.
Overall
, it can be possible to have five different ways of spreading sun energy: heat from the earth's surface that may radiate back into space or be trapped by greenhouse
gases
, but
also
polluting
gases
from burning fossil fuels and extra carbon dioxide. The shortest way is when energy reflects directly off the atmosphere.
On the other hand
, the Sun heats the surface of the Earth, but
this
power does not remain on the ground.
Instead
, some energy leaves it and radiates back into space,
while
the second event is the heat that greenhouse
gases
can trap inside the atmosphere.
Furthermore
, we should not forget about car and manufacturing activities that
also
participate in the gas cycle. Their contribution consists of burning vast amounts of fossil fuels that add extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
