How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
Why doesn't all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reach the Earth?
Not all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reaches the Earth because some of it is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and the Earth's surface. Additionally, some of the energy is absorbed and scattered by the atmosphere before reaching the Earth's surface. This results in only a portion of the total solar energy reaching the Earth's surface for use.
What type of energy enters the Earth's atmosphere from the sun?
The energy Earth receives from the Sun is often called solar energy. The rate at which this energy arrives at Earth is about 174 petawatts ( 1 petawatt = 1,000 trillion watts) at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space. The sun energy at the Earth's surface is mostly in the visible and near-infrared ranges with a small amount in the near-ultraviolet.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
How energy from the sun enters the atmosphere?
titis
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
The is the source of all energy in our atmosphere.?
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
What happen to the energy from the sun when is reflected or absurd by the atmosphere?
They get burned in the Green house gases
What happens to the energy from the sun that is neither reflected nor absorbed by the atmosphere?
The rest passes through the atmosphere where it warms the Earth's surface. A small amount (7%) is reflected by ice and oceans.
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth 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.
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.
In the atmosphere some of the sun's reays get --------------or reflected in all directions?
In the atmosphere, some of the sun's rays get absorbed or reflected in all directions.
What happens to the sun's energy as it is reflected back from the earth?
When the sun's energy is reflected back from the Earth, it can be absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface. Some of the energy gets trapped and warms the Earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect. The rest is radiated back towards space.
Is the source of all energy in our atmosphere?
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
Some energy from the Sun is reflected back into what?
Some energy from the Sun is reflected back into space. This reflection occurs when sunlight hits objects like clouds, particles in the atmosphere, and the Earth's surface, causing some of the energy to bounce back rather than be absorbed.
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.
What happens to most of the sun radiant energy?
Most of the Sun's radiant energy is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is then converted into heat. Some of it is reflected back into space by clouds and the Earth's surface.
