can anybody tell me HOW????????

The size of the atom of co2 is big to resist the uv rays coming from sun and density of co2 in the atmosphere is also one of the other reason for it.

So I guess the answer is wrong it must be ozone layer because. Ozone absorbs uniquely a band of far infrared radiation, that otherwise has absolutely no harmful effects on life on Earth.

Its seems ozone is the right answer, because carbon traps heat and ozone traps harmful UV rays. Ozone layer holes are dangerous because these allow UV rays from out world and result in skin cancer etc. That is why so much effort is put in conserving ozone layer and ozone depleting substances are either banned or their use is discouraged.

Ozone absorbs ultraviolet rays and CO2 absorbs infrared rays.

Jashan has given the right answer others confused between UV&Infrared rays.

Firstly it is infrared not UV rays. And co2 is considered as one of the most important greenhouse gas as it absorbs the incoming solar radiations. It is co2.

Carbon dioxide has both stretching and bending vibrations. So it absorbs all the infrared radiations strongly.

Co2 absorb infra red radiation, this is the right answer.

Is ozone not the right answer? Because the question says radiation from sun.
