Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of radiation emitted by Earth: Earth emits energy in the form of radiation, primarily as a result of absorbing sunlight.
Identify the types of radiation: The types of radiation include microwave, visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation.
Recognize the role of greenhouse gases: Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere absorb certain types of radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Determine the type of radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases: Greenhouse gases are known to absorb long-wave radiation, which is primarily infrared radiation.
Conclude that the long-wave radiation emitted from Earth and absorbed by greenhouse gases is infrared radiation.
