effect greenhouse gasses have on the earth, one must comprehend how energy enters and exits the atmosphere. The sun constantly emits short wave radiation. This radiation can be dangerous to human health in large quantities, causing sunburn and skin cancers. Ozone (O3), another greenhouse gas, protects life on the surface by absorbing most of the damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun. In order to maintain a radiative equilibrium, an equal amount of long wave radiation is released back into…
