Solar energy is mostly in the UV spectrum, which is not absorbed by CO2. Radiant energy form the Earth is in the IR spectrum, which is absorbed by CO2.

Does a water molecule react the same way as a carbon dioxide molecule to UV and IR radiation?

Ok that explains one of the questions I had about CO2 reflecting the sun’s energy or not- But even if it isn’t absorbed, can it be reflected by CO2?
