Question
what is radiation most responsible for?○ the greenhouse effect○ heating the inner core○ heating the atmosphere○ heating the outer core
Brief Explanations
The greenhouse effect is driven by greenhouse gases trapping heat, not radiation. Earth's inner and outer core heat comes from radioactive decay and residual formation heat, not the solar/atmospheric radiation referenced here. Solar radiation is the primary source that heats the Earth's atmosphere, either directly or indirectly via surface heating.
