How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
Which atmosphere filters the suns rays?
The ozone layer within the Earth's atmosphere acts as a filter for the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It absorbs most of the incoming UV rays, protecting life on Earth from their damaging effects.
Why is the sun's intensity different at different area of the earth?
It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense
Why did temperatures on the moon vary so much?
Because there is no atmosphere the greenhouse effect does not take place. All of the suns rays are reaching the moon with full power.
In the atmosphere some of the sun's reays get --------------or reflected in all directions?
In the atmosphere, some of the sun's rays get absorbed or reflected in all directions.
How much of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere?
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
Do the suns rays get reflected or absorbed by energy?
Neither, they ARE energy.
What was an invention made by Archimedes that reflected the suns rays?
Well, Archimedes made a war weapon that reflected the suns rays in order to set Roman ships on fire. It was called the Death Ray.
What is green house effeect?
the warming of the the earth as the suns rays upon exit from the atmosphere being reflected down to earth because of green house gasses.
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
What prevents most of the suns rays from reaching us?
The Atmosphere
What prevents most of the suns gamma rays from reaching us?
The Atmosphere
Where are blue skies?
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
What is mostly affected by the suns ultraviolet rays?
The ozone layer is mostly affected the by the suns ultraviolet rays. This layer is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere.
Does the atmosphere protect us from the suns UV rays?
Yes, the atmosphere protects us from the sun's Uv rays. The ozone layer does this job.
