Does a liquid become a gas when its particles have absorbed enough energy to escape the surface?
Yes, a liquid becomes a gas when its particles have absorbed enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together. This allows the particles to escape the surface and become a gas.
Where is most of the sun's energy absorbed in water?
Most of the sun's energy is absorbed in the top few meters of water, where sunlight can penetrate. This energy is absorbed by water molecules and particles in the water, which then transfer heat to the surrounding water through conduction and convection.
What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?
The release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy is called emission. This occurs when the particles return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.
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 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.
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.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths 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.
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.
When does the surface particles of a soild gain enough energy to become a gas?
The surface particles of a solid gain enough energy to become a gas when they reach a temperature called the substance's "boiling point." At this temperature, the intermolecular forces holding the particles together are overcome, allowing the particles to break free and enter the gas phase.
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
