Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the statement that accurately depicts greenhouse effect is; “it is a process by which greenhouse gases allow the sun’s light to penetrate the atmosphere but stop the heat from escaping."
Detailed explanation-2: -The greenhouse effect happens when heat trapped by gases in the atmosphere warms the Earth. The best description of this process is found in answer choice (E). Atmospheric gases trapping heat and warming the planet’s surface is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and some is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Greenhouse gases The greenhouse effect: some of the infrared radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere, but most is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. The effect of this is to warm the Earth’s surface and the lower atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -When the Earth’s surface is heated upon by the radiations from the Earth, it results in increased temperature than is generally required, this process is known as the greenhouse effect.
