What reflects solar energy?
CloudsParticles in the atmosphereOceansSnow and icePart of the solar energy that comes to Earth is reflected back out to space in the same, short wavelengths in which it came to Earth.
What happens to the solar energy that is absorbed by earth?
Most of it is reflected back into space.
Is energy absorbed or reflected by earth?
The solar energy that reaches the Earth is called insolation.Of the incoming solar radiation 16% is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, 3%is absorbed by clouds and 51%is absorbed by the earth's surface, making a total of 70%.
Describe what happens to solar energy that reaches the Earth?
the solar energy reflected and very gay absorbed whoever wrote this has the straightist hairline
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
What is the name of solar energy that is reflected by earth?
It is called "The solar energy reflected by earth".
What is the sun's energy reflected into?
Solar energy reflected by clouds (20%) and the earth's surface (4%) is all reflected back into space.

What happens to solar energy that is not absorbed by earth's surface?
Most of it is reflected back into space.

How is solar energy reflected by the earth?
The Sun's light enters the Earth through refraction,because if it wouldn't enter earth only if it reflected.
How do you define solar energy?
Solar energy can be the suns rays, or it can be space weather. But mostly it's the energy Earth gets from the sun for radiation or it can be reflected back into space.
What happens to solar energy when it reaches the earth is it absorbed reflected or scattered?
All three.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected or scattered by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
