The sun’s rays hit the earth in the form of ultraviolet radiation. A part is reflected.

This effect warms up the earth like a greenhouse and ensures a
Greenhouse gases reflect sunlight bouncing off the Earth, acting like greenhouse glass. Air pollutants that affect the climate include carbon dioxide (CO2), which is produced when fossil fuels are used, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases).
