Question

The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiations that warms the Earth is called ___.

• A. Red house effect
• B. Green gas effect
• C. Green house effect
• D. Global warming

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Green house effect

The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiations that warms the Earth is called green house effect. This is a phenomenon in which the atmosphere of a planet traps radiation emitted by the Sun, caused by gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. It allows incoming sunlight to pass through but retains the heat radiated back from the planet's surface. This increases the overall temperature of the planet leading to global warming.
