What is closed energy?
here, ill copy from my school :) lol. im learning this too. hope this helps :DIn a closed systemClosed System: A system where the total mass is a conserved quantity but the total energy is not., energy can enter or leave the system but matter cannot.The planet Earth is an example of a closed system. The outer edge of the atmosphere acts as a boundary between the system, Earth, and its surroundings. Matter does not enter or leave the system, except for the occasional meteorite or shuttle, but energy is freely transferred between the Earth and its surroundings. Energy in the form of radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. The Earth also emits radiation back out to space. Because energy passes across its atmosphere but matter usually does not, the Earth is considered a closed system.
How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the sun-Earth system?
All of the energy the sun provides to Earth was previously contained within the atoms of the sun.
What is the part of earth's system in which we live?
the biosphere bio meaning life rock and other such elements
How do matter and energy move through an atmosphere?
For living things to carry out their processes, energy must enter the earth system constantly.
What does the earth solar system a galaxy and the universe have in common?
they all follow the laws of physics (conservation of energy, of mass, etc)
In terms of energy what kind of system is earth?
With respect to matter, Earth is a closed system and with respect to energy, Earth is an open system.
What is the energy cycle?
The movement of energy into and out of the Earth system.
Is early earth an open or closed system?
Early Earth was an open system because energy and matter such as light energy and meteors were bombarding the Earth.
What are two sources energy for the earth system?
Matter and energy
Is earth an isolated system?
No. An isolated system is one which has no exchange of matter and energy with the surrounding. In case of earth, many gas particles of earth's atmosphere are lost to the space. Also it receives energy from the earth. Hence there is a transfer of matter and energy with surrounding (universe) so earth is not an isolated system.
What is the source of the energy that powers the earth's system?
The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
Why is earth system resemble a closed system?
The state of the Earth's climate is dependent on the amount of energy stored by the entire system, and in particular the balance between the amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun, in the form of light and ultraviolet waves, and the amount of energy the Earth releases back to space, in the form of infrared heat energy.
The Earth exchanges with the rest of the cosmos?
The Earth exchanges mass and energy with the rest of the cosmos. This means that the Earth is an open system.
What are the two source of energy for the earth system?
solar system and gas
Why scientist considers earth an essentially close system?
Earth is essentially not a closed system. It receives energy from the sun and looses energy as it radiates heat into space.
Is the following true or false The Earth system is powered by energy from the sun and the Earth's exterior?
False : The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
What are the two main sources of energy in earth's system?
solar energy and energy from fossil fuels
