As solar energy enters Earth's atmosphere, a portion is absorbed and scattered by air molecules, clouds, and atmospheric particles. Approximately 30% of solar radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols, and the Earth's surface. The remaining energy reaches the surface, where it can be absorbed by land and water, driving weather patterns and photosynthesis. Ultimately, some of this energy is re-radiated as infrared radiation, contributing to the Earth's energy balance.

What happens when the solar energy enters earths atmoshere?
When solar energy enters Earth's atmosphere, a portion of it is absorbed by gases and particles, while some is reflected back into space. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, driving weather patterns and climate systems. Additionally, solar energy is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, supporting life on Earth. Overall, this interaction affects global temperatures and ecosystems.
What is it called when an object on solar crosses paths with earth and enters earths atmosphere?
When an object from space, such as a comet or asteroid, crosses paths with Earth and enters its atmosphere, it is referred to as a "meteoroid." Once it enters the atmosphere and produces a visible streak of light due to friction, it is called a "meteor." If it survives the passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then classified as a "meteorite."
Why do space shuttles heat up when they re-enter into the earths atmosphere?
When the shuttle goes from the vacuum of space and enters the earths atmosphere, it heats up because of simple friction. The friction is from the shuttle going so fast and hitting the atmosphere. Same reason you sometimes see meteor showers.
What is a meteor calls when it enters earths atmosphere?
A meteorite.
What is the name of a shooting star before it enters the earths atmosphere?
The correct name for a shooting star is a Meteorite. Before a meteorite enters the Earths atmosphere it is called a Meteoroid.
What two things can happen to electromagnetic energy that enters the earths atmosphere?
Electromagnetic energy that enters the Earth's atmosphere can be reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere and surface. Absorption can lead to heating of the atmosphere and contribute to processes like the greenhouse effect.
What produces streak of light as it enters the earths atmosphere?
meteor
What prooduces a streak of light as it enters earths atmosphere?
A meteor or comet
What does the shuttle pass through as it enters earths atmosphere?
The ozone layer.
You are a dust particle that enters earths atmosphere and is burned up?
A meteor
What Forms when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.
How hot does a space shuttle get when re enters earths atmosphere?
3,000+ F
What term describes a streak of light when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
"Meteor" does.
