what does the suns radiation have to do with the green House effect?

Answer 1

The sun;s radiation is the source of the warming. Because it come through the atmosphere and is trapped (the "greenhouse" effect i.e. like a greenhouse in your backyard but on a much larger scale) by the gasses e.g. CO2 acting like the "glass" in the green house. This results (arguably) in global warming

Answer 2

Actually nothing. The so-called greenhouse effect is a condition in which a large percentage of the radiation coming from the sun doesn't re-radiate back into space. The condition itself is caused by gases in our atmosphere.

Answer 3

When the sunlight penetrates the earth, the earth heats up because of the sunlight. Some of the heat is radiated back by the earth into the atmosphere but some are trapped by the greenhouse gases ( CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs). This process is called greenhouse effect and that is the main culprit that causes global warming.

Answer 4

because the suns radiation is what is making things hot. The radiation enters the atmosphere and gets trapped by the greenhouse gases.

Answer 5

CO2 and such are highly transparent to the visible light from the sun, but less so to the infrared (heat) radiation the earth re-radiates. Since earth must eventually re-radiated *all* the sun's energy, it must heat up to a higher temperature to overcome the increased opacity.

Answer 6

So called green house gases prevent the heat radiated onto the earth's surfaces from escaping back into space, waves are reflected off these gases back unto the earth.
