TRUE
Most visible light that enters Earth's atmosphere is reflected back out into space by greenhouse gases

FALSE
The troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground, is heated by Earth's surface through the process of conduction.
The troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground, is heated by Earth's surface through the process of conduction.
TRUE
If there was less ozone in the atmosphere, more UV radiation would reach Earth's surface because fewer ozone molecules would be present to absorb the solar UV radiation.

When weather conditions and sunlight are likely to produce smog, cities may ask motorists to refuel their cars at night instead of early in the day. Why would this behavior make a difference?

SMOG FORMS WHEN CHEMICALS REACT WITH SUNLIGHT. AT NIGHT, THE SUN IS NOT SHINING SO LESS SMOG WOULD FORM.
