Of the total solar radiation intercepted by the earth, about 1% reaches the earth's surface, and most of it is then reflected as longer-wavelength infrared radiation.

地球的總太陽輻射，達到約1％的地球表面，而且大多數是反映較長波長的紅外輻射。


As this infrared radiation travels back up through the lower atmosphere toward space, it encounters the greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

由於這反映回來的紅外輻射，通過對低層大氣的空間，它遇到的溫室氣體，如水蒸氣，二氧化碳，甲烷，氧化亞氮和臭氧。


It causes these gaseous molecules to vibrate and release infrared radiation with even longer wavelengths.

它們會造成這些氣體分子振動並且釋放紅外輻射，甚至放出更長的波長。


The vibrating gaseous molecules then have higher kinetic energy, which helps to warm the lower atmosphere and the earth's surface.

氣體分子的振動具有較高的動能，這有助於溫暖低層大氣和地球表面。


Without this natural greenhouse effect, the earth would be too cold to support the forms of life we find here today.

如果沒有這自然溫室效應，地球會太冷而無法支持我們今天在這裡所找到的生命形式。
