a. Which of the following statement about greenhouse effect is true

i. Greenhouse gases can absorb more radiation energy from sunlight, thus increasing the earth’s temperature

. ii. Greenhouse gases can absorb more radiation energy from the earth, thus increasing the earth’s temperature.

iii. CO2 is the worst greenhouse gas, because its capability to absorb radiation energy is the strongest.

iv. The energy balance between incoming sun radiation and outgoing earth radiation is broken due to the greenhouse effect.

Explanation / Answer

Ans) Greenhouse gases can absorb more radiation energy from the earth, thus increasing the earth’s temperature.

most of the gases are transparent to the short wavelength radiation from the sun, but when the earth heatsup and emit long wavelength radiation, these gases absorb it and inceases the temperature.
