The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
What are some ways that can affect the water cycle?
being near the equator and near the pole there is two more but i don't know them
How does solar radiation affect water uptake in plants?
Solar radiation in plants inhance the rate of transpiration. To cope up with the water deficiency in plants roots are desired to uptake more water.
Only about 50 percent of the solar energy directed toward earth penetrates directly to the surface. What happens to the rest of the radiation?
some of the radiation is absorbed in the atmosphere
What percentage of solar radiation reaches the earth and drives the hydro logic cycle?
About 50% of the incoming solar radiation reaches the surface of the planet. The rest is reflected or absorbed by the atmosphere & clouds, and a small portion is reflected by the oceans and land.

Does solar radiation affect the weather over the entire world?
solar radiation doesnt affect the entire world but it affects awhere the ozone layer has a hole
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space

The atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air

What does solar energy means?
energy from sunlightEnergy that you get directly from the sun, that you can,say, convert into electricity

How does the atmosphere affect the earth's climate?
the atmosphere absorbs heat from solar radiation; which varies with latitude and seasons
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.
