Accepted Answer

The gases present in the atmosphere interact with light rays such that the gases absorb the heat radiation of the electromagnetic waves.What is an ideal gas?It is a hypothetical gas whose volume it fills is insignificant; it does not exist in reality; the idea of an ideal gas is simply a theoretical one.the real gases approach the behaviors of an ideal gas at a very high temperature and very low pressure.The ability to soak up infrared energy is a feature of several atmospheric gases. The two main atmospheric gases, oxygen and nitrogen, lack this feature. This phenomenon, known as IR energy absorption, occurs when infrared light interacts with a molecule like co2 and causing the atoms to flex and oscillate.Learn more about ideal gas here, refer to the link;brainly.com/question/8711877#SPJ2
