Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freelyWhen sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat)Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphereOver time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the Earth’s surface roughly constant Many gases exhibit these “greenhouse” propertiesSome of them occur in nature (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide), while others are exclusively human-made (like gases used for aerosols).
