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.
Solar energy reflected by clouds (20%) and the earth's surface (4%) is all reflected back into space.
Space.
The Sun's light enters the Earth through refraction,because if it wouldn't enter earth only if it reflected.
8 minutes.
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.
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
Yes.
radiant energy is important to us because the sun is emittating radiation to the earth, through space

why
That means it radiates energy (in the form of electromagnetic waves) into space.
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth becouse of reflected light energy are said to be
It goes back into space.
objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be luminous.
the Sun, sunlight is our primary source of radiant energy, without it- life on Earth would pretty much cease to exist. Radiant energy is given off by space heaters, toasters, stove burners, light bulbs (give radiant energy as heat and as light), etc.. All electromagnetic energy from gamma rays, x-rays, thru radio waves are types of radiant energy.
