How the Greenhouse Effect Works - Visual Explanation #3648782 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts the Sun emitting solar radiation (green arrows) toward Earth, which absorbs the energy and re-emits it as infrared radiation (red arrows). A portion of this outgoing heat is absorbed and re-radiated back toward the surface by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, represented by the blue arc. This natural process keeps Earth habitable but intensifies with increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
