Answer:
A
part of the sunlight that falls on the Earth is reflected back in the form of infrared
light. This infrared light is absorbed by the carbon dioxide molecules present
in atmosphere. Due to increasing industrialisation, combustion of fossil fuels
and deforestation the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere also
increase. Air containing more CO2 would be able to trap larger
amount of the infrared light thereby heating the atmosphere. This heating of
the atmosphere due to the absorption of infrared radiations by CO2
molecules is called the greenhouse effect.
