The natural greenhouse effect is the absorption of infrared radiation by our atmosphere, which warms our planet.

温室效应是指大气吸收红外保持地球温暖。

There, they absorb infrared radiation and convert it to visible green light.

在那里，它们吸收红外，并将其转化为可见的绿光。

Known as infrared radiation, the camera processes infrared radiation and converts it into a visual image, even in the pitch black.

被称为红外，该相机对红外进行处理，并将其转化为视觉图像，即使在漆黑的环境中也能看到。

For example, water, ozone, and nitrous oxide are all electrically lopsided, so they all absorb infrared radiation.

例如，水、臭氧和一氧化二氮都是电不平衡的，因此它们都吸收红外。

That, in turn, depends on the amount of infrared radiation falling on it from whatever it is pointing at.

反过来，这又取决于从它指向的任何地方落在它身上的红外的数量。

The Terra and Aqua satellites carry instruments called spectroradiometers which detect the infrared radiation, that is, the heat, radiating from the Earth's surface.

Terra 和 Aqua 卫星携带着名为 “分光度计” 的仪器，它测量的是红外线，也就是地球表的能量。

Warm objects emit infrared radiation, which should pass back out into space, because most atmospheric gases don't absorb it.

温暖的物体发出红外线，应该传回太空，因为大多数大气气体不吸收它。

At the same time, it traps the infrared radiation — aka heat —radiating out from Earth's sun-warmed surface, keeping us from freezing solid at night.

同时，它捕获了从地球上被太阳热表发出的红外——也就是热量，使我们在晚上不至于冻成冰块。

At the same time, it traps the infrared radiation – aka heat – radiating out from Earth’s sun-warmed surface, keeping us from freezing solid at night.

同时，它捕获红外——也就是热量——从地球被太阳加热的表出去， 使我们在夜间不会冻僵。

Smrekar and colleagues used an instrument on the European Space Agency's Venus Express spacecraft, which is in orbit around Venus, to monitor infrared radiation at a specific wavelength that penetrates the planet's cloud cover.

Smrekar 及其同事在欧洲航天局的金星快车航天器上使用了一种仪器，，它在金星周围的轨道上，监测特定波长的红外，它穿透了地球的云层。

Even though many different kinds of molecules can absorb infrared radiation, the vast majority of our atmosphere can't, because it's made of nitrogen and oxygen, which don't get lopsided even when they are vibrating — they're too symmetric.

即使许多不同种类的分子可以吸收红外，但大气层绝大部分不能吸收，因为它是由氮气和氧气组成的，即使它们在振动时也不会失衡——它们太对称了。

Scientists discovered in 2009 that, when visible light is shined on them, Egyptian blue molecules emit infrared radiation — the long-wavelength light that our eyes can't detect, but can be felt as heat or be picked up by certain cameras.

2009年科学家们发现，当可见光照耀到色素上时，埃及蓝分子会发出红外——我们的眼睛无法察觉的长波长光，但可以感受到热度或是被某种相机捕捉到。

Even though many different kinds of molecules can absorb infrared radiation, the vast majority of our atmosphere can’t, because it’s made of nitrogen and oxygen, which don't get lopsided even when they are vibrating - they’re too symmetric.

尽管许多不同种类的分子可以吸收红外，但我们大气中的绝大多数都不能， 因为它是由氮气和氧气组成的， 即使它们在振动时也不会倾斜——它们太对称了。
