Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Only a fraction of the emitted energy passes through into space. The majority of the energy is absorbed in the atmosphere mainly by greenhouse gases (primarily water vapor and carbon dioxide) and clouds. Much of this absorbed energy is then radiated back to Earth, producing the atmospheric greenhouse effect and, therefore, preventing the cooling of the Earth.
