Solar radiation passes through the clear atmosphere. Most is absorbed by the earth’s surface and warms it. But some solar radiation is reflected by the earth and the atmosphere.

Global Warming and Pollution

Global Warming and PollutionInfrared radiation is emitted from the earth’s surface. Some of it passes through the atmosphere, and some is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules, water, and carbon dioxide. The effect of this is to warm the earth’s surface and the lower atmosphere.

As a fire burns, several chemical reactions take place. In one of them, carbon atoms (C) from the fuel bond with oxygen molecules (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2). When there is limited oxygen, carbon begins bonding with single oxygen atoms to form carbon monoxide (CO).
