Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth. These warmed gases radiate heat in all directions, including back onto the earth, heating the atmosphere. So the heat is not lost to space, but instead builds up in the atmosphere where it heats the earth as well.
they trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by the earth

Which best explains the importance of dissolved gases in the ocean?
They help provide oxygen for aquatic animals. !
Which best explains why the noble gases are chemically unreactive?
because the most an atom can have in its outer energy level for electrons is 8 and noble gases have 8 the do not want to react because they want to keep the "octet". reacting means gaining or losing electrons
What best explains the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?
The phenomenon which best explains the role of catalyst in a reaction is that the catalyst lowers the Energy of Activation :)

They trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by Earth
What best explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet

What is green ice gases?
The question probably refers to "greenhouse" gases rather than green ice gases. Greenhouse gases are a group of gases in the atmosphere that tend to prevent heat escaping from the Earth. They act rather like a blanket and hold heat in the atmosphere. There are several greenhouse gases. The best known are carbon dioxide and methane although water vapor is also one of them, even if not usually recognized as such.
Are there greenhouse gases in Antarctica?
Yes. In fact Antarctica is in some ways the best location to measure the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, because there is no local industry to give false high or variable readings.
Which best explains the importance of dissolved gases in the ocean?
They help provide oxygen for aquatic animals. !
What best explains why there is life on earth but not on the moon?
The moon has no atmosphere to support life.
How greenhouse gasses can be absorbed?
Greenhouse gases absorb infra red radiation (heat) coming back up from the warmed earth. They hold this heat, and in turn warm up the air around them, as well as warming the earth's surface again.
What is the best reason to use a renewable source instead of relying on fossil fuels?
Renewable energy sources don't add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
How would the atmosphere best described?
the mixture of invisible gases that surround earth
How would the atmosphere best be describe?

Which property of gases best explains the ability of air bags to cushion the force of impact during a car accident?
Gasses are comperssible (plato)
