Why do melting ice caps make Earth warmer?
The correct answer is C. Albedo decreases.
When the albedo is lower, more radiation from the Sun gets absorbed by the planet resulting in rise of temperature. When the snow covered area warms up and melts, the albedo goes down and more sunlight is absorbed in that area and the temperatures increase.

Answer:
Both Mars and Saturn have rings.
On the earth surface
Explanation:
The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.
- The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
- They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
- When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
- Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
- When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
- Earth is cooler than the sun
- When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
- When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
- The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
- The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.
