Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
What percentage of the suns energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by earth surface?
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
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 to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
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.
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
When the Sun's rays strikes Earth's surface energy is reflected or absorbed?
absorbed
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?

When earth receives energy from sun?
The 70% of the sun's energy that is absorbed by the earth's surface, differences in solar energy that the earth receives across the globe.
