Which three things determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth?
Three things that determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth are season, solar flares, and the presence of the ozone. Solar panel are a clean source of electricity
What is the process of turning sun energy into food energy?
photosynthesis is the process in which organisms takes sun, water, and carbon dioxide and turns it into food.
What factors could affect the amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface and decrease the flux of solar energy?
same question
What is the Stars fusion?
Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
What is fusion in the stars?

What has no size or shape but can still be measured?
Time, temperature, conductivity, resistance, mass, weight, luminosity, albedo, force, work, energy, ... the list is huge.
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is?
Energy that is reflected from the atmosphere is called albedo. With albedo, sunlight is reflected which prevents solar energy from being absorbed in the ground.
What has the lowest albedo?
Albedo means reflectivity. The higher the albedo, the more light (and heat) is being reflected. Generally, the darker the color, the lower the albedo : most of the energy is absorbed. Snow has a fairly high albedo, as do clouds. Black tar roofs have a very low albedo.
The term albedo refers to the?
the amount of energy reflected
What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
Albedo
Where does the other energy go when the energy reaching earth is absorbed and convented to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis?
chlorophyll. nelson science textbook grade 9
How does a low albedo affect the earth?
A lower albedo would mean that the Earth would absorb more solar energy and warm up more.
What is the Unit of measurement for electromagnetic energy?
Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.Energy is measured in joules.
Do oceans absorb or reflect solar energy?
the ocean absorbes solar energy because it has a low albedo.
The energy given off by burning fossil fuels can be measured in?
If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.
Would A higher albedo result in an overall cooler climate?
A higher albedo would mean that more energy would be returned to space. This would mean a cooler climate.
What do you call fraction of total solar energy that a planet reflects back to space?
Albedo
