Basic greenhouse effect: Visible light (and ultraviolet light) comes in relatively unhindered. Gets absorbed by the earth and heats it up. The heat is emitted as infrared radiation. This gets absorbed by CO2 (and equivalents) and reemitted in a random direction. Takes a long time to reach space by chance, so the energy stays in the atmosphere for a while. |
