Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).

What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.
Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.

Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
What does carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb?
infrared radiation
What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.

What does water absorb?
IR Radiation otherwise known as Infrared Radiation or heat energy
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
Do hot objects absorb infrared radiation?
All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation, which is also called infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits. However; the hotter an object, the faster it will emit infrared radiation. Even though hotter objects can absorb infrared radiation, they will continue to emit infrared radiation much faster than they absorb it from any colder objects / sources around them, until an equilibrium is achieved with the objects surroundings i.e. it is always an antagonistic relationship with the objects surroundings and the surroundings with the object.
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
What dangerous radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorb UV radiations. They are absorbed by ozone layer.
