Radiation Energy Outflow (Greenhouse Effect)
Heat energy radiates from the Earth system. This radiating energy passes through the atmosphere on its way to outer space. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, absorb this heat energy and make the planet warmer. By increasing the amounts of heat-trapping gases, humans are changing Earth’s climate.
