What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
If it is a cloudy day then how you will get solar energy?
Quite simply, you get less solar energy than when it is not cloudy. For example, a solar stove can still heat water, but it will no longer boil.Quite simply, you get less solar energy than when it is not cloudy.

Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
yes
Would more of the suns energy reach the earths surface on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
Absorbed
Where energy on earths surface comes from?
The sun & the Earth's core.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?

What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
What process moves energy from earths surface to high in the troposphere?
conduction
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
