Earth has a what of about 30 percent reflecting much of the sun's radiation back into space?
Albedo.
When earth cools most of the energy transferred from earth's surface to space is transferred by the process?
Radiation
What will be the effect of methane on the balance between incoming and outgoing radiation on Earth?
Methane is a greenhouse gas and it absorbs infrared radiation that is remitted from the earth. As it absorbs the radiation it is stopping it from being re-radiated to space thus warming the earth.
How the sunlight is passed from space to the earth?
Light is electromagnetic radiation. It does not need a medium to support it.
Does earth's atmosphere block all uv radiation from space?
No, Earth's atmosphere does not block all UV radiation from space. It does absorb a portion of the UV radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-C rays. However, UV-A and UV-B rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere to some extent and reach the Earth's surface.
Earth has a what of about 30 percent reflecting much of the sun's radiation back into space?
Albedo.
How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
What role does radiation play in warming the atmosphere?
Radiation from the sun warms the earth. Increasing amounts of greenhouse gases prevent this heat from reflecting back out into space, causing a global warming of the atmosphere.
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.
The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
What happens when radiation reaches earth's surface?
90% of radiation reaching the surface of the earth is absorbed! and 10% is reflected into space.
Why is radiation reaching the earth a problem?
If all the radiation from space reached Earth we would all die in a matter of minuets
Why does radiation not require other particles?
Because radiation is particles.
how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation.
