Simple Model of the greenhouse effect

Simple Model of the greenhouse effect. Includes atmosphere layer. Atmosphere layer passes all solar radiation. Atmosphere layer absorbs all IR from Earth. Atmosphere layer radiates in the IR up to space and down to Earth surface. Surface absorbs solar radiation and IR from atmosphere.
