Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere?

It may be converted into heat (or cause chemical reactions to occur), otherwise it remains radiant energy and escapes back into space. Note that much of what stays as heat is converted back into infra-red radiation and lost into space at night.


How much of the suns reflected energy is reradiated back into space?

Approximately 30% of the Sun's energy that reaches Earth is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and Earth's surface. This reflected energy is known as the albedo effect. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth, warming the planet and driving various processes, such as weather and climate. Ultimately, a portion of the absorbed energy is reradiated back into space as infrared radiation.


How much energy is required for the space shuttle to return to earth?

The space shuttle required approximately 500 million Joules of energy for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. This energy was mainly used to slow down the shuttle and withstand the heat generated during re-entry.


What is the suns Outermost layer?

The Sun's outermost layer is the corona, which is the Sun's tenuous outer atmosphere that is visible during a solar eclipse as a white halo around the Sun. The corona extends millions of kilometers into space and is much hotter than the Sun's surface.


Is there constant temperature throughout space?

If by space you mean the vacuum of outer space then, as the are very few atoms, there is no temperature as such.This is because what we call temperature (heat) is caused by the vibration of atoms. However, there may be allot of energy passing through a portion of space (electromagnetic energy) but, if this has no matter to impinge on, it does not deposit this energy. There are however some portions of space (in nebulae) where, although there is not much matter, what matter there is, is hot an may even be radiating energy (emission nebulae). Thus the answer to you question is:- No there is not a constant temperature throughout space.

Do greenhouse gases trap all the energy radiated from Earth?

Certainly not all of it, otherwise the earth would be inhabitable. Much as Venus is.


How much space does tidal energy take up?

Energy takes up no space, at all.

How much energy of space structure is there in 1 metric cubic meter of space?

There is no definitive answer to this question as space is not a physical substance that can be measured in terms of energy content in the way we measure other materials. Space is considered a vacuum and does not have a specific energy content in the same way that matter or radiation does.


Gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere most easily escape from?

Gas particles in the Earth's atmosphere most easily escape from the exosphere, the outermost layer of the atmosphere. The exosphere is where the gases are much less dense, and particles can gain enough kinetic energy to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and escape into space. This process is known as atmospheric escape.

Do gamma rays hit the surface of earth?

Yes, gamma rays from outer space can reach the surface of the Earth. However, much of the high-energy gamma radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly the ozone layer, before reaching the surface.


Miniature dogs sleep so much?

not all of the miniature dogs sleep so much. Most of them are very energetic.But the miniature dogs that do sleep a lot are because their bodys are so little that not that much energy cannot stay in their body because most of the smaller dogs have big ears so the energy escapes more.
