How much of the energy reaching earth is absorbed and converted to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis where does the other energy go?
Approximately 1-2% of the solar energy reaching Earth is absorbed and converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process primarily occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. The remaining solar energy is either reflected back into space, absorbed by the atmosphere and oceans, or used in other ecological processes, such as heating the Earth's surface and driving weather patterns.
Where does the energy from the sun that is not used go to?
Most radiant energy is absorbed by Earth. The rest is reflected and bounces back and forth between Earth's surface and the clouds until absorbed.
When the solar energy reaches the earth where does it go?
Some gets absorbed and converted into other energy forms. Most of the energy will eventually get radiated back into space.
Where do the 100 units of sun go?
30 of the units are reflected back to space, and the remaining 70 are absorbed by the atmosphere.
When light is absobed by an object where does the energy go?
It becomes the internal energy of the object that has absorbed it
What happens to the sunlight that falls on earth?
The sunlight that falls on Earth is either absorbed by the surface and transformed into heat, reflected back into space, or used by plants for photosynthesis. This energy is essential for sustaining life on Earth and driving our planet's climate and weather systems.
What are the uses of solar as an energy source?
Solar energy is energy radiation. If you live on earth, then your solar energy comes from the sun. It is used to power facilities, and other uses. Some environment friendly cars and motorcycles have solar panels on them. In a way, solar energy is vitamin d to us. It can be used for many things.

What is a good title for a project on solar energy?
Go Green with the Sun is one of the good title for a project on solar energy.
Where does sound energy go?
After a while, sound energy is usually absorbed, and converted to heat energy.
How sound is affected when it travels through wooden tables?
When a sound tries to go through something hard, like a table, part of it will be reflected back and the other part will be absorbed and carried through to the other side. The amount absorbed and the amount reflected depends on the volume and frequency of the sound.
How can solar panels turn light into energy?
It's not that easy figuring out how all this works. So you have to read CAREFULLY. Sunlight is made up of photons, or particles of solar energy. These photons contain various amounts of energy that go together with the various wavelengths of the solar spectrum. When photons strike a photovoltaic cell, they may be bounce back, go right through, or be absorbed. Only the absorbed photons are used for energy to generate electricity. When enough energy from the sun is absorbed by the semiconductor, electrons are dislocated from the material's atoms. Special treatment of the material surface during manufacturing makes the front surface of the cell more receptive to free electrons, so the electrons naturally move to the surface. Not as easy as you expect, is it.
