Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
How does most of the heat in the earths atmosphere move from place to place?
Convectionheat moves by, radiation(:
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What is most of earths ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
The atmosphere and especially the ozone layer
What form of radiation can be shielded by earths atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.

What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Does the earths atmosphere reflect the suns radiation back into space?
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
What part of the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation that causes skin cancer?
green house effect
