4. The atmosphere is capable of both absorbing and reflecting light. As depicted in this figure, does it cause a net increase or decrease in the Earth's internal energy? 5. What effect would increasing the amount of light reflected have on the Earth's temperature? 6. If there were more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that could absorb heat from the earth, what effect would that have on the Earth's temperature?
