Why is the earth a closed system with respect to chemicals but open with respect to energy?

That means that chemicals don't leave Earth, or come to Earth, in significant quantities - whereas energy does.

What explains why a sealed calorimeter is a closed system?
thermal energy is not transferred to the environment.
What is the law of conservation of matter using your own examples?
Total amount of mass energy in a closed system.
Is a Acid Rainfall open system or closed system?
Closed System
Is a burning candle an example of an opened system or a closed system?
closed system
Is burning a candle a open or closed system?
closed system
In terms of energy what kind of system is earth?
With respect to matter, Earth is a closed system and with respect to energy, Earth is an open system.
Why do scientist consider earth an essentially closed system?
Because no significant amount of matter enters and leaves Earth. Note, however, that with respect to energy, Earth is NOT a closed system. We can't live without the energy (radiation) from the Sun - and the corresponding cooling-off radiation into space.
A well-defined group of objects that transfer energy to one another?
The laws of nature would make this impossible, some energy always escapes.
What happens to matter and energy in closed system?
In a closed system, neither the energy or matter changes. (Study Island)
What happens to matter and energy and closed system?

What is Earth in an open system with respect to?
Mainly with respect to energy.
Is a roller coaster the only example of a closed energy system?
No, the roller coaster is not the only example of a closed energy system.
What happens to kinetic energy and potential energy in a closed system?
In a closed system, their sum is constant.
A system is one in which energy moves freely in and out but no matter enters or leaves the system?
a closed system
What in a closed system energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
In a closed system what energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy.?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
In a closed system what energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
