What else can I help you with?
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
Does the earths atmosphere extend about 1 kilometer above its surface?
No, the Earth's atmosphere extends much higher than 1 kilometer above its surface. The exosphere, the outermost layer of the atmosphere, extends up to 10,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
What would happen if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor were not in the atmosphere?
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
When earth cools most of the energy transfers from earths surface to space is transfers by the process of?
Radiation
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What is the layer of the atmosphere farthest from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
When is water moved from the atmosphere to earths surface?
When it rains or snows.
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 is a water based material that falls from the atmosphere to the earths surface?
rain
What is called an unnatural warming of the atmosphere near earths surface?
An unnatural warming of the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called global warming or anthropogenic climate change. This phenomenon is primarily caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.
A rock at the earths surface is primarily affected by forces of?
The answer is Weatering And Erosion.
