diagram that shows sun, earth, UV and IR rays along with clouds with 3 types of greenhouse gas
-
UV - incoming short-wave radiation from the sun
IR - outgoing long wave radiation from the earth
Clouds block some UV and IR
Gases (water vapor, CO2, methane) block some of the IR
IR - outgoing long wave radiation from the earth
Clouds block some UV and IR
Gases (water vapor, CO2, methane) block some of the IR
