What are the main reflectors of solar energy?
Clouds are the main reflectors of solar energy.
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
yes
What are the Crucial to the formation of clouds in the atmosphere?
the transfer of heat and energy.
What holds clouds together?
a force unknown to mankind -- call it life energy
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
Would more of the suns energy reach the earths surface on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.
How do prokaryotes conserve energy?
Prokaryotes conserve energy and resources by regulating their activities
Are clouds an energy source?
No, clouds are just water vapor...
Are clouds a renewable source of energy?
No, clouds are not a source of energy. They are just puffs of water vapor floating in the sky. Wind and water are sources of energy.
Energy from the sun is reflected by?
its either clouds, oceans, or earths surface sorry if it didn't help hooray if it did either way i think this is right scientificly.......just kidding i ain't no scientist!;)
Where is the earths energy released?
Earths energy is released when there is too much heat inside of Earth and volcano's erupt.
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
what does the energy come out as when a shift occurs in the earths crust called
What is energy from heat in earths interior?
Geothermal Energy
Is true that once the energy has left earths surface it can not be reabsorbed?
No. It is not true that once energy has left the earth's surface it can not be reabsorbed. Clouds overhead act like a blanket and reflect energy back to the earth's surface. As a result deserts are usually cooler at night than other areas at the same latitudes.
How do clouds affect earth's energy budget?
Clouds can have a cooling albedo effect, reflecting incoming energy. They can also have a warming effect, when they prevent energy escaping into space.
What kind of energy does clouds that produce lightning have?
Electrostatic Electric Energy
What are the three things that happens to the radiation the Earth receives from the sun?
It is reflected back out into space (e.g off clouds)It is captured by plants in photosynthesisIt warms the air and makes the weather systems on Earth and the ocean circulationsIt becomes trapped (over time) as fossil fuels.
