Answer:
The earths surface absorbs visible radiation from the sun, which causes heating. At the same time the surface and the atmosphere emit infrared radiation back to space, which produces cooling. Our eyes cannot see infrared radiation but we can feel how our skin absorbs it when we are standing next to a hot object without touching it. Over a long period the earths surface temperature will remain approximately constant because the amount of heat absorbed as visible light is equal to the amount emitted as infrared light.
