Labels:text | screenshot OCR: GREENHOUSE EFFECT 80% of sunlight VENUS IS THE hottest planet in the Solar reflected away System, yet it is not the closest to the from Venus Sun. On both Venus and the Earth, 20% of sunlight shorter-wave infrared radiation enters atmosphere from the Sun passes through the atmosphere, heats the ground, and is given back out as longer-wave Atmosphere traps infrared radiation. On the Earth, some infrared radiation of this infrared radiation, or heat, is Surface absorbs trapped in the atmosphere, causing sunlight and emits the "greenhouse effect." On Venus the infrared radiation greenhouse effect is complete, as all TRAPPED HEAT the heat is trapped in the atmosphere. In the "greenhouse effect," heat radiated from a planet's surface (shown by the red arrow) is trapped by its atmosphere, like h ...
