The correct statements are

Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat. Earth's surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere. Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process by which warmth of the sun is trapped by the lower atmosphere which keeps the earth warm.

The atmosphere allows visible spectra of the sun's radiation to fall on the earth.

Most of the radiations which fall on the earth are absorbed by the earth.

During night time, the earth radiates the heat energy back in the atmosphere.

The atmosphere or greenhouse gases trapped and reradiate the percentage of these radiations towards the earth.

This trapping and re-radiating the radiations keep the earth warm.
