How does energy from the sun enters the atmosphere?
The energy from the sun enters the atmsphere as radiation. This radiation is tranmited to the earth in the form of short waves of radiation. These waves hit the ground.Through radiation.
Which of the following can happen to solar energy after it enters the earth's atmosphere?
evaporate water, heat up the atmosphere change the weather e.g. high,low pressure system. used for conversion to electrical energy
Does a comet burn when it enters the earth atmosphere?
Yes
What type of energy enters the Earth's atmosphere from the sun?
The energy Earth receives from the Sun is often called solar energy. The rate at which this energy arrives at Earth is about 174 petawatts ( 1 petawatt = 1,000 trillion watts) at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space. The sun energy at the Earth's surface is mostly in the visible and near-infrared ranges with a small amount in the near-ultraviolet.
What causes the streak of light observed when a meteoriod enters Earth's atmosphere?
The friction with the Earth's atmosphere causes a meteor to heat up and burn.
When a space vehicle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere energy is turned into energy?
kinetic and heat
What happens if too much energy from the sun enters Earth's atmosphere?
The earth will become warmer.

What two things can happen to the energy that enters the atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
How energy from the sun travels theough earth?
The sun doesn't heat and power things like weather evenly. Since the Earth is a sphere, different parts of the world absorb heat at different rates. The energy from the sun enters and leaves Earth through absorption.
