HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
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.
Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
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 earths surface?
50%
How energy is transfered in the ocean?
energy
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
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 energy transfers takes place when the turbine turn the generator?
kinetic energy is transfered to electric energy
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.
