Question

umahayeugine21 · Answer

Explanation:Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, carbon dioxide, etc.) let visible light pass through, but absorb infrared light – causing the atmosphere to heat up. The warmer atmosphere emits more infrared light, which tends to be re-absorbed – perhaps many times – before the energy eventually returns to space.

How the absorption of visible light in the earth's atmosphere contribute to global warming?Neither visible or IR light warm the earth over any extended time frame. It is in fact water vapor and liquid water that holds onto the heat. The simple answer is that the Earth exists in a balance of a lot of factors, including the infrared which comes from the sun, the reflection, and the absorption of visible light, which turns into infrared and then radiates back into space. The greenhouse gases humans are adding to the atmosphere are really tipping that balance. Very little of the rest of the complex system is changing. It is true that human activity is making the surface of the Earth less reflective, by turning trees and grasslands into open soil, by making roof materials dark, and by paving large areas.
