Which planet has an atmosphere that protects life from the suns radiation?
Earth.
What gas acts as a shield against the suns ultra violet radiation?

How much of suns energy is absorbed or reflected by clouds?
45%
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.
Why is the sun's radiation reflected back into space?
its because of the ozone layer turning the suns rays into longwaves and sending them back into space
What percentage of the suns energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by earth surface?

What percent of the suns heat can can clouds absorb on a cloudy day?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.
What happens after the suns rays hit the earth?
They are either reflected, some hitting clouds others caught by particles in the atmosphere or continue on back in to space - or they are absorbed as heat energy
How do you define solar energy?
Solar energy can be the suns rays, or it can be space weather. But mostly it's the energy Earth gets from the sun for radiation or it can be reflected back into space.
Is it radiation that when the sun makes you warm?
it is the suns radiation
What is radiation in water cycle?
the radiation is the suns heat
Why is 6 of the suns energy scattered or reflected into space?
why
How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the suns radiation than a thin wispy one?
Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.
