An important visible feature of the Earth's atmosphere that is a significant reflector of sunlight?
Clouds.
Which energy is produced by the heat inside of Earth?
The heat will eventually leave Earth as infrared radiation.
What is the heat from below earth's surface called?
Heat from inside the Earth is called geothermal heat.
How do clouds help heat the earth?
Clouds don't really heat the Earth. Some clouds keep the Earth from losing heat. Heat is moved in different ways. One way is radiation. The Sun warms the Earth with radiated heat. But, the Earth also radiates heat. Clouds absorb some of the heat the Earth radiates and radiate it back to the Earth. If there are no clouds present all of the heat the Earth radiates go out into space and is lost.
How does heat transfer in earth?
From the sun to the earth it is radiant heat
Is a good emitter of heat also a good reflector of heat?
Yes..
What is good reflector of heat and light?
A mirror.
Why are oil tankers painted silver?
good reflector of heat
Why is a poor reflector of heat also a good absorber?
Common sense. Is something is reflected, it cannot be absorbed, and vice versa. If something is a good absorber of heat, it tries to "hold onto" as much heat as possible; if something is a poor reflector of heat, it is bad at minimizing heat absorption.
Is lead an excellent reflector of heat?
yes lead (Pb) is an excellent reflector of heat and is used widely
What is the difference between a good radiator of heat and a good reflector of heat?
heat absober absorbs heat & refelector reflect it
Is marble a good radiator reflect-er or ab-sorer?
White marble, being white, is a good reflector of heat.
How does dark colour absorb more heat than white?
White is a good reflector of heat therefore it will absorb less heat than a dark surface.
What is a reflector of heat?
For example aluminium.
Is gold the best reflector of heat?
yeah
Can an object be both a good absorber and good reflector at the same time why or why not?
No, you can be both good and evil. This is the same concept. The object is either a good absorber or a good reflector, and can not be both. Black is a good absorber, white is a good reflector.
Is a good reflector of radiation a good emitter of radiation?
A good absorber of radiation is a good emitter. Radiation is the energy that that comes from a source and travels through space or through something. Some examples of radiation include light, heat and sound.
