CO2 is major greenhouse gas and absorbs light energy of greater wavelength like infrared radiation. When light energy is absorbed it gets converted into heat or thermal energy. As we move towards upper layers in the troposphere, temperature goes on decreasing and air becomes cooler. It expands due to decrease in pressure.
