Do clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space?
Yes, they do, to a limited extent.
Why doesn't all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reach the Earth?
The atmosphere reflects some of the energy back into space.
What objects in space give out radiation?
The sun gives out raidio waves = radiation lol notrealy :)
How does radiation from the sun travel through space?
Radiations from the sun are able to travel through space because of the heat waves.
When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
What reflects sun energy?
The ozone layer reflects the sun's radiation. these are harmful UV 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
Do clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space?
Yes, they do, to a limited extent.
Earth has a what of about 30 percent reflecting much of the sun's radiation back into space?
Albedo.
Why doesn't all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reach the Earth?
The atmosphere reflects some of the energy back into space.
Did you know Neptune is blue?
Yes, I did. Neptune is blue because the methane in the atmosphere absorbs the red light from the sun but reflects the blue light from the sun back into space.
The reflective quality of a surface is known as its?
Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (shortwave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space. The albedo of an object is a measure of how strongly it reflects light from light sources such as the sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity.
How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the Sun's 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.
What happens to most of the radiation from the sun?
lost in space
How is the energy of the sun transferred the void space?
radiation
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.
