equatorial region
high latitudes
incoming is energy coming from the sunoutgoing is energy reflected off the planet
The ozone layer reduces incoming solar radiation by absorbing ultraviolet light.
About 6% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the atmosphere and 4% by the surface of the earth.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%
the amount of incoming solar radiation
high latitudes
incoming solar radiation = insolation
Radiant energy is the energy that is left behind from the incoming radiation. net radiation= incoming radiation-outgoing radiation
incoming is energy coming from the sunoutgoing is energy reflected off the planet
The ozone layer reduces incoming solar radiation by absorbing ultraviolet light.

The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
Net radiation, or net flux, is the balance between the incoming and outgoing energy here on Earth. It is the amount of energy that has influence over the climate.
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
The balance between incoming and outgoing energy is called radiation balance.
