absorbed
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
The amount of energy absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface is influenced by factors such as surface albedo, surface characteristics (e.g. vegetation, water bodies), and atmospheric conditions (e.g. clouds, aerosols). Different surfaces have different albedos, which determine how much solar radiation is absorbed versus reflected. Additionally, atmospheric components can impact the amount of energy reaching and interacting with the surface.
The amount of energy absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface depends on characteristics like surface color, texture, albedo (reflectivity), cloud cover, atmospheric composition, latitude, season, and time of day. These factors influence how much sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the surface, affecting the overall energy balance of the Earth.
Roughly 70% of the sun's radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface, while the remaining 30% is reflected back into space. This absorbed energy plays a crucial role in driving Earth's climate and weather patterns.
Meteorite
Visible light and infrared radiation are mainly reflected away from the Earth's surface. These wavelengths are absorbed by the atmosphere and then reflected back out into space, helping to regulate Earth's temperature.
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
what you want to know: about 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface other stuff: 30% is reflected by earths surface 20% is absorbed by ozone, clouds, and atmospheric gases and 25% is scattered and reflected by clouds and air where i got the info from Hold Science & Technology Weather and Climate Hold, Rinehart and Winston A Hardcourt Education Company Orlando- Austin- New York- San Diego- Toronto- London
