Were it not for this process, about 30 percent9 of the sun’s energy would be reflected back out into space in the form of infrared radiation.

Albert Wenger • Climate 101 with Albert Wenger pt 2
The Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the incoming (short-wave) solar radiation and radiates (longer waves) to space. Without it, the temperature of the Earth would be -18°C, and hence our planet’s surface would be perpetually frozen. Trace gases change the planet’s radiation balance by absorbing some of the outgoing (infrared) radiation and raising the
