A) A greenhouse allows longwave radiation to escape and mix with the surrounding air,unlike the Earth's atmosphere.
B) The glass of a greenhouse is designed to allow transmission of both longwave and shortwave radiation,whereas certain atmospheric constituents only allow transmission of shortwave radiation.
C) It is exceedingly rare for a greenhouse to contain carbon dioxide like the Earth's atmosphere contains.
D) Passage of longwave radiation to space is delayed by certain atmospheric constituents,but not trapped like an actual greenhouse.
E) A greenhouse is designed to artificially warm an area and has built in ventilation,whereas there is no such ventilation system in the Earth-atmosphere system.
