The solar energy radiated back from the Earth's surface is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, O3, CFCs) present near the Earth's surface.
They heat up the atmosphere near the Earth's surface and keep it warm. As a result of these, there is the growth of vegetation which supports life. In the absence of this effect, there would be no life for both plants and animals on the surface of the Earth.
