thermal-ir radiation

Long wavelength solar radiation from the sun bounces off the Earth's surface or atmospheric gases as it is reflected back into the troposphere. In addition, shorter wavelengths of light are absorbed by the earth's surface and re-radiated to space in the IR. Thermal IR, and all IR, is invisible to the eye but can be felt with the skin.
