Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The differential transmissivity of shortwave insolation and longwave terrestrial radiation by various atmospheric gases refers to the ability of certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, to absorb and re-radiate outgoing longwave radiation from the Earth's surface, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
