    Our planet would be too cold to support life if not for a natural process called the greenhouse effect. The sun sends solar radiation toward the Earth’s surface. Of which, 70% is initially absorbed by the Earth’s surface. However, as the earth warms, some of this absorbed energy is reflected back toward space as infrared radiation. This infrared radiation would be lost into space except for the fact that there exist greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere that absorb the infrared radiation and sends some of it back to Earth’s surface, keeping Earth at a temperature that can support life.…
