carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere
co 2 absorbs and emits infrared radiation at wavelengths of 4.26 µm (asymmetric stretching vibrational mode) and 14.99 µm (bending vibrational mode) and consequently is a greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in influencing earth's surface temperature through the greenhouse effect.
