Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Since carbon dioxide and other gases that act as greenhouses are present in Earth's atmosphere, heat and UV rays from the sun cannot bounce off the planet's surface, which results in an increase in Earth's temperature known as the greenhouse effect.
The atmosphere serves as a greenhouse in this way.
Because of the gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide from a greenhouse's roof, the earth's atmosphere acts as a greenhouse.
The sun beams through the atmosphere during the day.
In the sunlight, the surface of the Earth heats.
Earth's surface cools at night, redistributing heat into the atmosphere.
