Photons that enter the crystal at one end bounce back and forth between these «mirrors» a few thousand times before they can escape, which increases their likelihood of getting
absorbed by an atom along the way.
Instead, each particle of light, or photon, is briefly
absorbed by an atom in the material.

absorbed by atoms in the atmosphere leaving a fingerprint of its makeup.
That energy is thermalised when it is
absorbed by an atom or molecule on the earth and raises its temperature.

absorbed by hydrogen and antihydrogen
atoms.

absorbed by vibrations in the bonds between the three
atoms.

atoms absorb light of a specific wavelength
by jumping from one energy level to a higher one.

absorb.

An
atom can
absorb a photon, or light particle,
by boosting one of its electrons to a higher energy, but it's unstable in this state.

atoms have been replaced
by an element, such as boron, that emits or
absorbs a specific color of light.
When an already excited
atom is hit
by another photon, however, it can't
absorb it; instead it releases a photon of the same color, or frequency.
In a traditional solar panel, silicon
atoms are struck
by sunlight and the
atoms» outermost electrons
absorb energy from some of these wavelengths of sunlight, causing the electrons to get excited.
Part of the kinetic energy of the swirling molecular ions is
absorbed by the helium
atoms in collisions, and these
atoms in turn transfer it to the rotational motion of the ions, thus raising their rotational temperature.
Ordinary
atoms can change their energy levels under the right conditions
by either
absorbing or emitting a photon.
Highly energetic gamma - and X-rays, with wavelengths as small as or smaller than
atoms, are
absorbed by oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere.
That incoming light is
absorbed by hydrogen
atoms and converted to heat energy, NASA stated, and this steady conversion of light - to - heat makes the planet appear to be pitch - black to onlookers, the researchers found.
Another reason it takes so long is because iron
atoms in the sun's interior
absorb — and hold — some of the energy that passes
by them.

absorbed when the universe was formed
by the hydrogen
atoms believed to inhabit the space between galaxies.
We can't even tell exactly or even approximately how much of what molecule /
atom is
absorbed by the body!
The point being, that the resonance emissions / absorptions of
atoms / ions are not being grossly smudged out
by the ambient Temperature of the sun; they remain characteristic of the atomic species that radiate /
absorb them.
Photons of sufficient energy are
absorbed by oxygen molecules and as a result the
atoms of the oxygen are «blown» apart.
But to make some sense of your longer distance, I suppose that little bits of C02, warmed
by absorbing outgoing IR, thermalize that energy to adjacent
atoms, then rise to get the longer distance.

by even a little, the
atom can not
absorb it (this is the basis of quantum theory).
Fortunately, as depicted in Figure 2 (orange «thermal down surface» arrow), some of this energy does stay in the atmosphere, where it is sent back toward Earth
by clouds, released
by clouds as they condense to form rain or snow, or
absorbed by atmospheric gases composed of three or more
atoms, such as water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4).
The actual resonant frequencies of resonant molecules is affected
by pressure; this means more collisions between
atoms, and sometimes vibrational energy can be
absorbed in a collision while sometimes energy is given off.

absorbed or emitted
by H
atoms, IR is not
absorbed or emitted
