What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
50%
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
What layer of the sun's atmosphere reaches farthest into space?
The layer of the sun's atmosphere that reaches farthest into space is called the Corona.
When energy from the sun reaches earth it is not?
absorbed by earth's core
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
50%
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches the earth's is absorbed by ozone clouds and atmosphere gases?
50
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
absorbed by earth's surface
Why doesn't all radiation directed at earth reaches the surface?
It is absorbed by the atmosphere
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into 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.
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by ozone clouds and atmospheric gases?
50
Are there x-rays in sunlight?
Yes, until it reaches Earth's atmosphere. Fortunately for us, virtually all of the X-ray energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, and none remains by the time the rest of the light reaches the ground.
What happens as solar radiation travels towards earth?
Some is absorbed by molecules in the atmosphere (such as ultraviolet absorption by ozone), some is absorbed on the surface, and some is reflected by clouds or the surface back into space. The surface will re-radiate much of the absorbed solar radiation as infrared (thermal) radiation, and some of this is then absorbed by atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches earth is absorbed by the earth's surface?
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
