Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by what?
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by clouds, the atmosphere and the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%Source: (NASA)
What happens to the energy provided by the sun as it passes through the atmosphere in the form of radiation?
The kinds of electromagnetic radiation differ in the length of their waves, so the electromagnetic waves are absorbed, scattered, or reflected by the atmosphere and Earth's surface
How much of the sun's energy is absorbed or reflected by clouds?
Yes, about 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by the clouds and atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%
How much solar energy is absorbed and how much is reflected from the earth's surface?
At the earth's surface about 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed, and 4% is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%
What Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
the thingy hits the earht and everybody dies !!! The radiation will either be absorbed or reflected.
How much solar energy is reflected by the atmosphere and earth's surface?
About 6% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the atmosphere and 4% by the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%

How is 34 percent of the energy from the sun reflected off the troposphere?
About 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the clouds and atmosphere. Another 16% is absorbed by the atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%
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%
What happens as solar radiation travels towards earth?
Some is absorbed by molecules in the atmosphere (such as ultraviolet absorption by ozone), some is absorbed on the surface, and some is reflected by clouds or the surface back into space. The surface will re-radiate much of the absorbed solar radiation as infrared (thermal) radiation, and some of this is then absorbed by atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
How much solar energy is reflected by clouds and other particles?
About 19% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected 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%Source: (NASA)
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
How does radiation directed at the Earth fail to reach the surface?
Some of it is reflected back into space. Some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere. Some of it is scattered by the atmosphere.
What happens to the heat sun?
This isn't the best answer, but it starts with 100% radiation, 25% is reflected back by clouds and other particles, 20% is absorbed by particles in the atmosphere, 50% of radiation reaches and is absorbed by Earth's surface, and 5% of radiation from the sun is reflected by land and sea surface.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What are the steps that the sunlight goes though when it enters the atmosphere?
Sunlight gets absorbed, scattered, reflected, and transmitted through the atmosphere. Almost all of the ultraviolet component gets absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere. About half of the radiation gets absorbed or scattered and reflected in the troposphere. The remainder passes through, getting absorbed by the earth's surface.
What percent of the Sun's energy intercepted by the Earth is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds?
This Answer is as Variable, considering all of the varying Parameters, as it is Crucial to Our Tenuous Situation. This percentage, as Critical as it is, in not predictable as the Output of Solar radiation is as unknowable as the powerful Incidence of detrimental Cosmic Rays.
