It may be converted into heat (or cause chemical reactions to occur),
otherwise it remains radiant energy and escapes back into space.
Note that much of what stays as heat is converted back into infra-red radiation and lost into space at night.

What happens to the amount of the sun's mass as it burns?
It converts into radiant energy
Does Energy from the sun travels to earth as radiant energy?
Yes, radiant energy or radiation
What happens when a space shuttle enters the atmosphere?
energy is lost
What do you call the energy that comes from the sun?
this is known as radiant energy. the suns radiation does it
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
yes the earths surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere GOOD LUCK :)
Describe the way energy changes form when an electric light is turned on?
radiant energy
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?

What happens to the different kinds of radiant energy from the sun when it enters earth's atmosphere?
well some of it is refllected back into space by our magnetic field. the rest of it just hits the earth
What happens to the amount of the sun's mass as it burns?
It converts into radiant energy
What happens to the particles in an object when it absorbs radiant energy?

Is wind a form of radiant energy?
No. Because wind consists of moving molecules of gas (matter), the energy involved is kinetic. However, wind ultimately has its source in the effects of radiant energy from the sun on the earth's surface and atmosphere..
What happens to the thermal energy that is produced by composting?
That it advances decomposition, condenses into radiant heat, dissipates into the atmosphere and eliminates pathogens in the soil describes what happens to the thermal energy that is produced by composting. The thermal energy is seen as water vapor between the temperatures of 131 and 139 degrees Fahrenheit (55 and 65 degrees Celsius). It will cool down as macro- and micro-organisms complete their breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich compostable material and dissipate unless condensed for use as radiant heat for water and in buildings and greenhouses.
What is the difference Between Light energy and Radiant Energy?
Light is light. Radiant is Radiant.
Is radiant energy sustainable?
Radiant energy is sustainable because we can handle it ex.we can handle the light from radiant energy.
The pupil of your eye is a net absorber of radiant energy a net emitter of radiant energy neither a net absorber or emitter of radiant energy?
A net absorber of radiant energy.
Form of energy also known as light energy?
radiant energy
