The greenhouse effect allows the Earth to stay warm enough to support life.
Which explanation correctly describes a part of the greenhouse effect?
Shorter wavelength radiation enters the atmosphere from the sun and is re-emitted back by the Earth as longer wavelength radiation
Longer wavelength radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases as it enters the atmosphere
Longer wavelength radiation enters the atmosphere from the sun and is re-emitted back by the Earth as shorter wavelength radiation
All wavelengths of radiation are reflected back by the Earth and absorbed by greenhouse gases
