What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
Would more of the sun's energy reach a particular part of earths surface on a sunny day or on a cloudy day and why?
It would probably reach an area where it is sunny when the other area is cloudy
Suns core releases heat by what process?
Our sun release energy by a process called convection. Inside the star, energy is transported towards the surface through radiation, but about 1/3 of the outer layer of the star is markedly cooler than the core and the energy is transported by convection from the core to this layer.
What process moves energy from earths surface to high in the troposphere?
conduction
When earth cools most of the energy transfers from earths surface to space is transfers by the process of?
Radiation
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What do you call the energy from beneath the earths surface?
It is called geothermal energy.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
Absorbed
Where energy on earths surface comes from?
The sun & the Earth's core.
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
