WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT ?
Oxygen & Ozone
100% of radiation absorbed by gas. Oxygen & Ozone 0% of radiation absorbed by gas.
Shorter Longer Visible (Insolation) Oxygen & Ozone 0.4 μ Violet 0.7 μ Red
Shorter Longer Visible (Insolation) Oxygen & Ozone Little or no absorption of visible light
Shorter Longer Visible (Insolation) High absorption of Ultra-violet light Oxygen & Ozone Little or no absorption of visible light
Shorter Longer Visible (Insolation) High absorption of Ultra-violet light Oxygen & Ozone Little or no absorption of visible light Atmosphere absorption of visible light is very low All Atmosphere
