The sequence is in the following order;

  1. The sun radiated sunlight (visible) photons
  2. Photons from the sun strike the earth and become infrared photons
  3. Earth radiates infrared photons into the atmosphere
  4. CO2 in the atmosphere absorb infrared photons
  5. CO2 in the atmosphere emit infrared photons back towards earth
