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 atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
What is the primary reason why the albedo of the Earth is roughly 30 percent?
albedo
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 percent of the atmosphere's total mass?
The troposphere
In what atmosphere layer does 80 percent of the gas in the atmosphere reside?
try ionzide

Only about 50 percent of the solar energy directed toward earth penetrates directly to the surface. What happens to the rest of the radiation?
some of the radiation is absorbed in the atmosphere
What percent of radiation is absorbed?
The radiation that are absorbed are not all useful. Only the harmful ones are.
How is 34 percent of the energy from the sun reflected off the troposphere?
About 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the clouds and atmosphere. Another 16% is absorbed by the atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
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.
Where is over 95 percent of incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
in the atmosphere;in the Ozone Layer(The ozone molecules filter out the harmful UV rays.)
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching Earth suface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.
What percent of solar radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
55 percent when the atmosphere blocke the earth
What happens to 70 percent of radiation that comes to earth?
It is absorbed.
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
What percent of radiation is lost after reaching earth. Surface?
25% is absorbed by clouds and atmosphere.25% is reflected by clouds.45% is absorbed by the earth's surface.5% is reflected by ice and snow on the earth's surface.So 5% is "lost", that is, reflected back into space.See the diagram link below.
How much of the sun's energy is absorbed or reflected by clouds?
Yes, about 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by the clouds and atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
