AI Summary
This report delves into the interaction of greenhouse gases with the Earth's atmosphere, focusing on the impact of shortwave and longwave radiation. It explains how greenhouse gases absorb and emit radiation, maintaining heat in the environment. The report highlights the differences between shortwave and longwave radiation, emphasizing the higher energy content of shortwave radiation from the sun and the lower energy of longwave radiation emitted by the Earth. The document references key scientific literature to support its findings, offering a comprehensive overview of the topic. The report concludes by summarizing the significance of these interactions for maintaining the Earth's temperature and overall climate system.

Greenhouse gases interact with atmosphere
Greenhouse Gases mainly interact with earth's surface which further places impact over
the its environment (Smith and et. al., 2018). This project contains information how greenhouse
gases effectively comes in contact with shortwave and longwave radiations at Earth's
atmosphere. Later, it expresses main differences among both form of radiations.
Short wave radiations are considered as the radiant energy associated with wavelength in
the ultraviolet radiations and visible light. Whereas, long wave radiation are seen as the infrared
radiation. Greenhouse gases comes in contact with radiation at earths atmosphere. Here, all the
atoms are loosely packed up with one another which clearly provides them space to vibrate at the
time when they are absorbing heat (Wang and et. al., 2019). At the same time, these vibrating
molecules emits the radiation which is further absorbed by other molecule of greenhouse gas.
Main difference among both the radiation is that short radiation basically includes huge
level of energy while long wave radiation are containing lesser energy as compared to the short
wave radiation. This specifies that sun releases short wave radiation. This is so because, it is
highly hot and contain huge level of energy that can be easily released (Lappalainen and et. al.,
2016). Whereas, if it is talked about Earth, it can be said that it releases long wave as it is quite
cooler as compared to the sun. It has also been seen that even though it is cooler but still it emits
energy.
On the basis of overall information it is concluded that the overall process of interaction
with the shortwave and longwave maintains heat in the surrounding of earth's surface.
