The provided diagram illustrates (exlains) the process of greenhouse effect.
In summary, it is evident from the illustration that the greenhouse effect is created by reflected light and infrared radiation, which are absosorbed and trapped by the atmosphere.
The process begins with the sun light reaching the earth. In spite of the fact that some light is reflected by clouds, atmosphere and Earth’s surface into space , most of visbible rayses are absorbed by Earth’s surface. Energy is transferred from Earth to the atmosphere. Infrared radiation is emitted from the atmosphere into space as well as from Earth into space. It is also seen that part of the IR is absorbed by Earth.
