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.
What enters the ecosystem as sunlight leaves it as heat?
That is approximately the case; it would be more accurate to say that the energy content of the visible light of the sun is (in part) later radiated into space at night in the form of infrared radiation. Of course, not all of the energy is radiated into space, since some of it does other things such as driving photosynthesis or causing the evaporation of water.
How do stars like the sun create energy that is later radiated away into space?
The energy comes from "nuclear fusion". Stars like the Sun create helium from hydrogen by this method, and that gives out energy. That's how the Sun creates energy.
Does the suns energy reflect back into space?
Yes. Indeed one proposed solution for the global warming suffered by our planet is to increase the amount of energy reflected back into space by increasing our own oceans ability to reflect it.
What occurs when the earths crust is squeezed into smaller space?
compression
Which of earths sphere includes the oceans ground water lakes and glaciers?
The energy exchanges between space , the atmosphere, and earths surface produce
What is balanced between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
What is the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing solar energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
What happens to the energy radiated by the earth?
It's lost to space
What is the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
Where does thermal energy go when it gets cold?
It will be radiated into outer space.
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.
Where do thermal energy go when it is wasted?
It heats up the environment. Eventually, it will be radiated out into space.
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through 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
The Earth loses energy to space only at night?
Of course not. Energy is radiated out all the time. The hotter an object, the more energy will radiate away.
When the solar energy reaches the earth where does it go?
Some gets absorbed and converted into other energy forms. Most of the energy will eventually get radiated back into space.
