There are many reasons why oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently. Land is usually darker than water so it absorbs more energy. The ocean is more reflective, and therefore uses less energy to absorb the energy.

There are only 3 countries in the world that border 3 oceans. Russia, Canada and USA. All of whom border the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

Energy is responsible for different states of matter!
Yes, protons can absorb energy through interactions with high-energy photons or through collisions with other particles. When protons absorb energy, they can become excited and may transition to higher energy states. This energy absorption is important in various phenomena, such as particle interactions and nuclear reactions.
When materials absorb ultraviolet (UV) rays, some of the energy is used to excite electrons in the atoms of the material to higher energy levels. As these electrons return to their ground states, they emit energy in the form of visible light. This phenomenon is known as fluorescence.
Sort of. The 50 states touch three oceans, the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The "lower 48" states, also known as the contiguous United States have the Atlantic Ocean on the East and Pacific Oceans on the West. The Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean and that is to the south. Alaska has the Arctic Ocean on the north and Pacific Ocean on the south. So the technically the three oceans do not "surround" the United States, but there are three oceans that border the United States.
Substances that absorb light can be converted to higher energy states, leading to excitation or even a chemical reaction. This absorption of light can lead to various phenomena like fluorescence, phosphorescence, or photochemical reactions, depending on the specific molecule and conditions.
Good absorbers of radiation are also good emitters because they can absorb energy from their surroundings and then emit that energy in the form of radiation. This is governed by Kirchhoff's law, which states that objects that absorb radiation well at a specific wavelength are also good emitters at that same wavelength.
Atlantic and Pacific
The Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans border the United States. The Indian and Southern oceans do not border the United States.
There are four, not two, they are: Liquid Solid Gas Plasma. An then there is the super-solid where hyper-cooled crystals begin to absorb energy into higher energy states without a corresponding increase of temperature.
The absorption of light by atoms or molecules depends on the energy state of its electrons. These energy states are determined by:the charge of the nucleusthe particular orbitals that the electrons have filledthe particular orbitals that the electrons have been excited tothe particular bonds and/or hybridized orbitals the electrons have been forced into.For each of these energy states there is a whole forest of higher energy states that a particular frequency of light can further promote them up to. Once promoted to a higher energy state the electron can then 'cascade down' through all the intermediate energy states radiating off quantum of lower frequency light that is dependent on the energy difference of these states.
Atoms exist in various states primarily based on their energy levels and interactions. The most common states include solid, liquid, and gas, which describe how atoms are arranged and move in relation to one another. Additionally, atoms can exist in excited states when they absorb energy, leading to higher energy configurations. In more extreme conditions, such as in stars, atoms can form plasma, where electrons are stripped from nuclei.
