Question
Which of the following statements about Earth's climate is TRUE? O Its climate is in part determined by the concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2 Throughout Earth's history, its climate has been relatively stable until the past 200 years O If the path of Earth's orbit were to change-overall increasing its distance from the sun-this would lead to warming of its climate The average albedo for Earth is 0.3 mainly because of ice and snow Greenhouse gases have a low albedo and directly absorb much of the incoming solar radiation, thus warming the Earth
