What role dose infra-red radiation play in maintain the Earth’s warmth
Advertisements
उत्तर
Visible light from the atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth’s surface and radiated as infrared radiation which gets trapped by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. This is how infrared radiation also plays an important role in maintaining the Earth’s warmth
