When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
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 is the movement of the earths surface to the atmosphere and back again?
it is water cycle
Is it true when heated Earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation?
Yes, of course. Basically, all the energy (or almost all of it) that the Earth absorbs from the Sun must be radiated back into space at some moment.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
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.
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
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.
In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
What Continuous movement of water from Earths surface to the and back to earths surface?
it is water cycle

Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
Would more of the suns energy reach the earths surface on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
Is true that once the energy has left earths surface it can not be reabsorbed?
No. It is not true that once energy has left the earth's surface it can not be reabsorbed. Clouds overhead act like a blanket and reflect energy back to the earth's surface. As a result deserts are usually cooler at night than other areas at the same latitudes.
