Question
where does the energy within the greenhouse effect originate?
○ from convection within the atmosphere
○ from the circular movement of hot and cold air
○ from solar radiation entering the atmosphere
○ from the conduction of heat from the ground to the air
The greenhouse effect relies on incoming energy that warms the Earth's surface first. Solar radiation from the Sun enters the atmosphere, warms the planet's surface, and the re-radiated heat is trapped by greenhouse gases. The other options describe secondary heat transfer processes in the atmosphere, not the original energy source.
