Greenhouse gases are those that:

Correct answer: C. Prevent heat to escape

  • A. Prevent entry of ultraviolet rays
  • B. Prevent rainfall
  • C. Prevent heat to escape
  • D. All given options are correct

Explanation

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. The other options are incorrect. Ultraviolet rays are not prevented by greenhouse gasses, and in fact, they can be harmful to living organisms if not filtered out by the ozone layer. Greenhouse gases also do not prevent rainfall, but they can indirectly affect precipitation patterns through their impact on global temperatures and weather patterns.
