Solution
The correct option is C Infrared light
The troposphere is the lowest
layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. The troposphere
is bonded on the top by a layer of air called the tropopause, which separates
the troposphere from the stratosphere, and on bottom by the surface of the
Earth.The troposphere contains 99%
of the water vapor in the atmosphere. Carbon
dioxide is present in small amounts
Water vapor, carbon dioxide,
methane, and other trace gases in Earth's atmosphere absorb the longer
wavelengths of outgoing infrared radiation from Earth's surface.
