Over half is either reflected, deflected or absorbed as it enters our atmosphere. Of the remaining 47% that hits our planet, most is reflected as visible light and passes through the atmosphere and out into space. Some energy is absorbed by the planet and released as infrared radiation. A small portion of this is absorbed by water vapor and CO2 and is released at night to keep the planet warm and alive.

Which of the following can happen to solar energy after it enters the earth's atmosphere?
evaporate water, heat up the atmosphere change the weather e.g. high,low pressure system. used for conversion to electrical energy
What is the energy from the sun is called?
Solar Energy. The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. The Earth receives 174 petawatts of incoming solar radiation at the upper atmosphere.
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
yes
What is a solar system object that enters Earth's atmosphere and becomes very hot due to friction between the object and Earth's atmosphere?
Meteor
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground

What happens when a object pass the solar system and enters earth's atmosphere?
Usually meteors that collide with the earth's atmosphere are burned upon entry. The become what is known as "shooting stars".
What happens when sun hits solar panels?
the energy from the suns rays enters the solar panels
What part of the atmosphere blocks solar energy?
The Thermosphere primarily blocks solar energy.
What happens to energy from the sun when it reaches the atmosphere and surfaces?
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.
How solar energy affect in our athmosphere?
Solar energy provides heat. It makes the atmosphere warm.
What happens to energy from the Sun when it reaches Earth's atmosphere and surfaces?
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.
What happens to solar energy that encounters earth and its atmosphere?
Our atmoshere can protect Earth from solar energy,but the atmoshere gets weaker every time it happens.Most of the solar energy doesn't pass ,so does and that's how we get sun burns and skin cancer from ultra violet rays.
The fuel driving the atmosphere is?
solar energy
