Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A planet with an atmosphere containing greenhouse gases will radiate solar energy back into space less efficiently than a planet with no atmosphere. This is due to the greenhouse gases trapping some of the solar radiation and preventing it from being radiated back into space. This leads to a buildup of heat on the planet's surface, causing it to warm up. This is the greenhouse effect.
