A) the glass, unlike the atmosphere, not only enhances the loss of energy by longwave radiation but also enhances the loss of sensible and latent heat by convection B) the glass, unlike the atmosphere, not only reduces the loss of energy by longwave radiation but also prevents the loss of sensible and latent heat by convection. C) the glass, unlike the atmosphere, reflects much of the shortwave radiation coming in from above D) the glass, unlike the atmosphere, reflects much of the shortwave radiation coming up from below
