What happens to the energy provided by the sun as it passes through the atmosphere in the form of radiation?

The kinds of electromagnetic radiation differ in the length of their waves, so the electromagnetic waves are absorbed, scattered, or reflected by the atmosphere and Earth's surface

Does Long-wave radiation from the ground pass through the atmosphere without absorption?
The answe to this question is false. Long-wave radiation from the ground does not pass through the atmosphere without absorption.
What are three ways that heat energy is transferred through the atmosphere?
Radiation, convection and conduction
What is the main method of heat transfer in your atmosphere?
it receives it from the sun in forms of electromagnetic waves / or radiation
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
IS Nuclear power is the only energy source which gives off radiation?
No, coal puts large amounts of uranium oxides into the atmosphere through its stacks.
How can energy be transferred through the atmosphere?
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
Why is Earth's atmosphere mainly heated from the ground up?
Solar radiation mostly passes through the atmosphere without heating it, due to its wavelength. It does not pass through the ground, however, and it heats the ground. The ground emits radiation at a wavelength dependent on its temperature. This radiation happens to be in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, or in other words, sensible heat. Therefore, the atmosphere is heated by the surface, whereupon the heat tends to rise and heat the lower atmosphere.
How is heat transferrred through the atmosphere?
radiation
How much of radiation from visible light waves is absorbed as the radiation passes through the atmosphere?
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
How much of the radiation from visible light waves is absorbed as the radiation passes through the atmosphere?
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
Does Long-wave radiation from the ground pass through the atmosphere without absorption?
The answe to this question is false. Long-wave radiation from the ground does not pass through the atmosphere without absorption.
How will the increase in carbon dioxide affect the transmission of solar radiation through the atmosphere?
The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more solar radiation (in the form of infra-red heat from the warmed earth) is absorbed in the atmosphere and prevented from escaping to space. It will not change the transmission of incoming solar radiation through the atmosphere.
How does energy transfer from sun to the atmosphere?
radiation can occur through a vacuum
What types of radiation does the universe allow to pass through?
Radiation can pass easily through space. It is the earth's atmosphere that protects us from dangerous levels.
How is heat transferred within the earth's atmosphere?
Heat in earth's atmosphere is transferred by: Radiation, Conduction, & Convection. ((:
What are three ways that heat is transferred through the atmosphere?
Radiation, convection and conduction
What is the major way in which heat energy is spread through the atmosphere?
One way that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere is through radiation. Conduction and convection are two other ways that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere.
