Shouldn’t greenhouse gasses also make the atmosphere reflect the heat before it enters the atmosphere?

My very limited understanding of the subject is that the heat from the sun goes through the atomosphere and then it just kinda bounces between the atomosphere and the earth. Increased greenhouse gasses lead to increased “bounceback”. But shouldn’t increased greenhouse gasses also reduce the heat that enters the system in the first place?

Apologies for any confusion caused by being on mobile and not speaking English as a native language.

Think about the inside of a car on a sunny day, its hotter in there than the outside right? Shouldn’t the the glass reflect all the heat back out instead of trapping it in the car?
