Why does thermal radiation pass more easily into a greenhouse then out of it?

Answer:

Since heated materials give off infrared radiation, the warm greenhouse soil, water, sand and other materials emanate this thermal radiation in longer wavelengths than the radiation that heated the materials. A greenhouse gas (GHG) is any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation in the thermal infrared range. These are the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect, which results in increased temperatures on Earth. Less heat radiates into space, and Earth is warmer.
