What percentage of the suns radiation is reflected by the clouds?
5%
Do clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space?
Yes, clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space. This reflection occurs because clouds are made up of water droplets and ice crystals that scatter sunlight. This process helps to cool the Earth's surface.
Thermosphere and exosphere are the first to receive the suns rays so they are very what?
Thermosphere and and Exosphere are the first ones to receive the suns rays so they can reflect to the clouds and the sun could reflect into the water and points to where it is needed Comment: I think the answer is "hot".
How does the greenhouse effect influence the amount of incoming solar radiation?
Some radiation may be blocked or filtered or scattered by clouds, but most of it will pass right through clouds. To answer this question, it's best to know that clouds consist of dust particles, water molecules and a number of gas molecules. This collection of matter is much more condensed than usual gases and that is why they stand out in the sky. So, light and radiation from the sun comes in waves. These waves travel extreme distances to reach the Earth, but the majority of them won't reach the Earth because they reflect and refract through other substances. The matter in clouds has the same effect, they reflect and scatter the radiation from the sun. So, the answer to the question, "Do clouds block the sun's radiation?" would be yes.
What effect do clouds have on weather?
Clouds are part of the weather process. The driving factor is not the clouds but the heat from the Sun. This said however, clouds are reflective and when these is a dense cloud cover less solar radiation hits the planets surface. They also tend to act like a blanket and reflect back any heat that the Earth is radiating.
What percentage of the suns radiation is reflected by the clouds?
5%
How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the Sun's radiation than a thin wispy one?
Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.
What percent of the suns heat can can clouds absorb on a cloudy day?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.
Does the earths atmosphere reflect the suns radiation back into space?
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
How do clouds reflect heat to earth?
Cloud cover prevents IR radiation and light from escaping to space, preventing cooling by radiation.
Do clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space?
Yes, clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into space. This reflection occurs because clouds are made up of water droplets and ice crystals that scatter sunlight. This process helps to cool the Earth's surface.
Do the suns ray's reflect on Earth's surface or absorb?
some of them get absorbed but some are sent to other different places such as space or the clouds.
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the suns radiation than a thin wispy one?
Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.
What percentage of suns radiation is reflected by the earths surface?
About 30% of the sun's radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere. This reflection is known as albedo and helps regulate the Earth's temperature.
What is radiation in water cycle?
the radiation is the suns heat
Is it radiation that when the sun makes you warm?
it is the suns radiation
