Comparison of solar energy emissions in various countries around the world

Greenhouse gases emissions and global climate change:

The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon occurring in the Earth''s atmosphere under the influence of solar radiation. The sun emits energy, including visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared radiation, that penetrates the atmosphere mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and various gases, including greenhouse gases (GHGs).
