Sketch of greenhouse effect on Venus

This diagram illustrates the greenhouse effect on Venus. As on Earth, visible solar radiation (represented here in yellow) enters the atmosphere and is
partially reflected by the clouds, and absorbed by the lower atmosphere and by the surface. Infrared radiation (here represented in red) is emitted by
the surface and is absorbed by the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and the clouds, so that it cannot efficiently radiate into space. Thus the planet is
extremely hot.
