What else can I help you with?
What provides the energy that affect the movement of the atmosphere?
The sun
How does the sun affect earths atmosphere?
The sun provides energy that drives weather patterns in Earth's atmosphere. Solar radiation heats the atmosphere, causing air currents and circulation. Furthermore, the sun's ultraviolet radiation interacts with gases in the atmosphere to create the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful UV rays.
How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What factor contributed to the formation of earths early atmosphere?
energy from the sun,lightening,earths heat triggered chemical reaction for the early gases of the earth combined
What are energy blasts from the sun's atmosphere that can affect radio transmissions called?
solar flares
What three things occur when the sun's energy hits the earths surface?
The sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. Some of the energy is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by the atmosphere. Plants and other organisms use the sun's energy through photosynthesis to produce their own food.
When earths atmosphere traps energy from the sun what does it cause?
When Earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun, it causes an increase in temperature on the surface of the Earth, known as the greenhouse effect. This can lead to global warming, climate change, and various environmental impacts.
Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?
No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.
