1.1 Natural Greenhouse Effect [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The natural greenhouse effect is the heating of the Earth due to the presence of greenhouse gases. Shorter-wavelength solar radiation from the sun passes through the Earth's atmosphere, and is then absorbed by the surface of the Earth, causing it to warm. Part of this absorbed energy is then reradiated back to the atmosphere as longer-wavelength infrared radiation. Most of this infrared waves is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, thus heating the Earth.
