What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
What happens to the energy that is obsorbed by earths surface?
nothing, it stays stored up in the Earth and that's why there is lava in the core of the Earth.
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 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.
