It is recommended to name the SVG file “CO2 H2O absorption atmospheric gases unique pattern energy wavelengths of energy transparent to others.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
Summary
[edit]DescriptionCO2 H2O absorption atmospheric gases unique pattern energy wavelengths of energy transparent to others.png |
English: All atmospheric gases have a unique pattern of energy absorption: they absorb some wavelengths of energy but are transparent to others. The absorption patterns of water vapor (blue peaks) and carbon dioxide (pink peaks) overlap in some wavelengths. Carbon dioxide is not as strong a greenhouse gas as water vapor, but it absorbs energy in wavelengths (12-15 micrometers) that water vapor does not, partially closing the “window” through which heat radiated by the surface would normally escape to space.
