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 are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What percent of the Sun's energy intercepted by the Earth is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds?
This Answer is as Variable, considering all of the varying Parameters, as it is Crucial to Our Tenuous Situation. This percentage, as Critical as it is, in not predictable as the Output of Solar radiation is as unknowable as the powerful Incidence of detrimental Cosmic Rays.
How is 34 percent of the energy from the sun reflected off the troposphere?
About 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the clouds and atmosphere. Another 16% is absorbed by the atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
Are all the radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere?
False
What happens to 70 percent of radiation that comes to earth?
It is absorbed.
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
Why is radiation absorbed?
Radiation is absorbed maily because of resonance.
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
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching Earth suface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.

This Answer is as Variable, considering all of the varying Parameters, as it is Crucial to Our Tenuous Situation. This percentage, as Critical as it is, in not predictable as the Output of Solar radiation is as unknowable as the powerful Incidence of detrimental Cosmic Rays.
Where is most ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
It absorbed by the exosphere
Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
