Part of the radiation is immediately radiated back into space. The remainder is absorbed; most of what is absorbed will be radiated back into space soon (as the materials heat up, they radiate out more infrared radiation).

What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
How does energy from the sun reaches us?
Radiation.
How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface?
Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way
How heat reaches Earth?
electro-magnetic radiation(sunlight)
How does energy that reaches the earth from the sun travel?
It is done by radiation.
Which of the is the main source of energy that reaches earth?
Solar radiation.
Most of the sun's energy reaches earth as?
Electromagnetic radiation.
What happens when radiation reaches earth's surface?
90% of radiation reaching the surface of the earth is absorbed! and 10% is reflected into space.
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
Is a telescope on a satellite made to detect x-rays?
