About 50 percent of the suns energy that reaches earth is what by land and what which becomes heated?

yes


What percent of suns energy that reaches the earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere?

Approximately 30% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere. This reflection occurs due to various factors, including clouds, atmospheric particles, and Earth's surface characteristics. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth, contributing to the planet's climate and weather systems.


How much of the suns energy is absorbed by air and clouds?

Approximately 20% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by the atmosphere, including air and clouds. Clouds contribute significantly to this absorption, as they can trap heat and reflect sunlight. This interaction plays a key role in the Earth's energy balance and climate system. The remaining energy is either reflected back into space or reaches the Earth's surface.


How does solar energy reach earth?

Solar energy reaches Earth in the form of sunlight. It is emitted by the sun as electromagnetic radiation and travels through space before reaching our planet. This sunlight carries energy that can be harnessed using solar panels to generate electricity.


How much of our Suns energy make it all the way through the atmosphere to the surface of the earth?

About 50% of the Sun's energy that reaches Earth makes it through the atmosphere to the surface. The atmosphere absorbs and scatters some of this energy, with factors like clouds, aerosols, and gases influencing how much sunlight reaches the ground. The portion that does reach the surface is crucial for supporting life, driving weather patterns, and generating renewable energy.

The suns energy reaches the earth as what type of energy?

The sun's energy reaches the Earth as solar radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation.


What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?

The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.


Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?

it does reach the earth in light energy.


What happens to almost half of the suns energy that reaches the earth?

i think instead of energy,u meant light.if that's the case,most of it is lost and some is absorbed the suspended particulate matter.


The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?

The amount of the sun's energy that reaches Earth at a given time and place depends on factors such as the angle of incidence, atmospheric conditions, and geographic location. On average, about 1,366 watts per square meter of solar energy reaches the top of Earth's atmosphere, but not all of this energy reaches the surface due to absorption and scattering.


What happens to the Suns when energy reaches Earth?

It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!


How does the suns energy travle to earth?

Most of it travels to Earth via light, and similar electromagnetic waves.


What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?

About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.

What are the steps the suns energy goes thourgh the reach earth?

In order to get to Earth (through a vacuum) it must be converted into radiation. Note that some energy reaches Earth as the "solar wind - mostly charged particles. This is a very small percentage.
