Light energy that is absorbed by Earth's surface is changed into what?
heat, unless it bounces off earth back into space
What occurs when radiant energy is reflected back into space?
Solar energy that heats the surface is re-radiated as infrared radiation, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere in the process. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide can all collect this re-radiated energy to some extent.
When a substance is heated where does the energy go?
Some of the heat from the warm earth is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, where it adds to the warming of the earth. The rest of the heat escapes into space.
How does solar radiation heat up the earth's surface?
The sun converts hydrogen to light energy. This energy must travel through space, where there are no particles. To go through space, the energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. When these waves hit the Earth's surface, they are absorbed by the typeof material at the top (rock, soil, water). As the waves are absorbes, they release their energy into the material's particles. This causes the particles to vibrate faster, causeing heat.
Why does ice surrounded by co2 melt fasteR?
because carbon dioxide doesn't absorb the energy from the sun, but it does absorb some of the heat energy released from the earth. When a molecule of carbon dioxide absorbs heat energy, it goes into an excited unstable state. It can become stable again by releasing the energy it absorbed. Some of the released energy will go back to the earth and some will go out into space.
When earth receives energy from the sun some energy escapes back into what?
Space.
Where do most of the suns energy fall?
The vast majority of the Sun's energy escapes into space.
Solar radiation that is not reflected by Earth's systems is absorbed This absorbed energy is then reradiates as what into space?
This absorbed energy is then re-radiated as heat
What is the layer of the sun for much energy escapes into space?
