Question

Which gas in the atmosphere has the property of absorbing the reflected heat?

Answer 1

• Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$ present in the air has the property of absorbing reflected heat, which keeps the earth's atmosphere warm even during the night.
• If the level of Carbon dioxide rises more than required it can cause global warming, i.e., a rise in the average temperature of the earth, which is a cause of concern.

Hence, the answer is Carbon dioxide.
