Answer: Solar energy absorbed at Earth's surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it ... They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.
