identify the two key components of the greenhouse effect.
greenhouse gases allow incoming short - wave radiation to pass through.
greenhouse gases absorb incoming ultraviolet radiation but allow longer - wave heat radiation to pass upward/out.
greenhouse gases absorb some of the outgoing longer - wave radiation from earth.
greenhouses gases trap all of the heat energy inside the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere allow incoming short - wave solar radiation to pass through, like sunlight. Then, these gases absorb some of the outgoing longer - wave radiation (infrared) from the Earth's surface, trapping heat and warming the planet. Greenhouse gases do not absorb incoming ultraviolet radiation in the context of the greenhouse effect as described in the options, and they do not trap all heat energy (if they did, the Earth would be much hotter).

Answer:

Greenhouse gases allow incoming short - wave radiation to pass through.
Greenhouse gases absorb some of the outgoing longer - wave radiation from Earth.
