The radiation coming into our planet is absorbed within our surfaces and greenery. However, when the radiation is too weak to leave the atmosphere it remains within those same things and…

    The greenhouse effect is a system in which certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trap infrared radiation emitted from the Earth and re-radiate it in all directions. This causes additional heating of the Earth. As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth radiates lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds absorb this infrared energy and radiation directed…
