In the presence of the sun’s rays, nitrogen molecules set of a chain of reactions that produce ozone and destroy free-floating atmospheric methane. Some of these reactions, like the methane destruction, help cool the Earth. During the day, those clouds can reflect sunlight, keeping the Earth cool. Others warm it.

It is home to the ozone layer , which protects the Earth from harmful UV rays. Alternatively, as carbon dioxide reaches the stratosphere, it instead cools the air and causes it to contract. The ozone layer has recovered since 1989, when CFCs were banned. But the stratosphere has continued to shrink over this period.

Radiant barriers are installed in homes — usually in attics — primarily to reduce summer heat gain, which helps lower cooling costs. Radiant barriers are more effective in hot climates, especially when cooling air ducts are located in the attic. The reduced heat gain may even allow for a smaller air conditioning system.
