The increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the air is slowly raising the temperature of the atmosphere because it absorbs -
Detailed Explanation:
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation (heat) emitted by Earth's surface after it absorbs solar energy.
This trapped infrared radiation causes the greenhouse effect, gradually raising atmospheric temperature—not UV or all solar radiation, but specifically the long-wave infrared re-radiated from Earth.
