The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.

What is the energy from the sun is called?
Solar Energy. The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. The Earth receives 174 petawatts of incoming solar radiation at the upper atmosphere.
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
50%
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
What type of energy is collected from the sun?
The energy collected from the sun is called solar energy. The energy gets to the earth from the sun by radiation that has been affected by the earth's atmosphere.

How is the solar energy transferred to earth affected by different materials on earth?
By the sun
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
50%
What two factors determine the amount of solar energy that an area receives?
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
What happens to solar energy that encounters earth and its atmosphere?
Our atmoshere can protect Earth from solar energy,but the atmoshere gets weaker every time it happens.Most of the solar energy doesn't pass ,so does and that's how we get sun burns and skin cancer from ultra violet rays.
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
How is climate affected by solar energy?
The amount of energy the sun produces increases slightly when there are more sunspots, so the Earth will be warmer
