Generation

The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap outgoing infrared radiation, warming the planet's surface. Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere and heats Earth's surface, which then emits infrared radiation back toward space. Greenhouse gases like CO₂, H₂O, and CH₄ absorb some of this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, including back toward the surface. **Key formula:** The Stefan-Boltzmann law describes the radiative energy: **E = σT⁴**, where E is energy radiated per unit area, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W·m⁻²·K⁻⁴), and T is absolute temperature.
