Explain the greenhouse effect and how it leads to rise of the earth temperature.

The short wavelength radiation from the sun penetrates the atmosphere and is absorbed by the earth’s surface. This absorbed energy warms the earth which then re-radiates long wavelength radiations e.g. infrared radiation. Some of this radiated energy absorbed (trapped) by the atmosphere. This leads to increased temperature on the earth with time referred to as global warming.
