    The document discusses how greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can cause the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide allow visible light from the sun to pass through the atmosphere and be absorbed by the Earth, warming the surface. However, greenhouse gases also reflect some of the infrared heat waves emitted from the Earth back down, trapping heat in the lower atmosphere and increasing temperatures.
