What 3 things can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface?
The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected
Is energy absorbed or reflected when the sun's rays strike the earth's surface?
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.
When the Sun's rays strikes Earth's surface energy is reflected or absorbed?
absorbed
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
More energy from the sun is absorbed by Earth's surface than is reflected. This absorbed energy is converted into heat, which warms the Earth's surface and plays a crucial role in driving the planet's climate system.
What happens to the shortwave radiation that reaches Earth's surface and is not reflected?
The shortwave radiation that reaches Earth's surface and is not reflected is absorbed by the surface, warming it up.
What happens to sunlight that hits earth's surface?
When sunlight hits Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. Some of the sunlight is absorbed by the ground, causing it to heat up. The rest is reflected back into the atmosphere or scattered in different directions.
About 6 percent of solar radiation is what by the Earth's surface?
About 6 percent of solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface, with the remaining percentage being reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What can happen to energy as it hits Earth's surface?
It can be either absorbed or reflected.
What happens when sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
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%
What percent of the suns energy is absorbed at earths surface?
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
