In what way does glass act like a one-way valve for a conventional greenhouse? does the atmosphere play the same role? what would be the consequence of completely eliminating the greenhouse effect for the planet earth?

For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer will be that Glass transmits solar radiation into the greenhouse and blocks the infrared radiation from leaving the greenhouse. The same thing that will happen in the atmosphere. I hope this helps
