Answer:

Earth radiates infrared radiation.

Incident infrared radiation is blocked.

Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth.

Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the sunlight enters earth's atmosphere, it has short wavelength but after hitting the earth surface, it has long wavelength which allow very less solar radiation by the clouds and greenhouse gases to go into the atmosphere and as a result the earth heat up. if the greenhouse gases are increased in the atmosphere so more heat is blocked by these greenhouse gases and as a result global warming occur.
