7.6 Lesson 8 - Reading - Gases that Vibrate

What we figured out this lesson...

Green House Gases (GHGs) are gas molecules in the atmosphere that absorb, vibrate, and release energy back into the atmosphere. This keeps Earth at a livable temperature.
As the amount of GHGs increases in our atmosphere, they cause the atmosphere to get warmer.
