Why is 6 of the suns energy scattered or reflected into space?
why
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earth's surface?
Roughly 70% of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining percentage is reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols, and the Earth's surface.
Why doesn't all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reach the Earth?
Not all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reaches the Earth because some of it is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and the Earth's surface. Additionally, some of the energy is absorbed and scattered by the atmosphere before reaching the Earth's surface. This results in only a portion of the total solar energy reaching the Earth's surface for use.
What happens to the solar energy that is absorbed by earth?
Most of it is reflected back into space.

What happens to light energy that is not absorbed by a material?
Light energy that is not absorbed by a material is typically reflected, transmitted, or scattered.
The percentage of Shortwave radiant energy scattered upward by a surface is termed its?
outflow
What happens to solar energy when it reaches the earth is it absorbed reflected or scattered?
All three.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected or scattered by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
The percentage of the sun's energy that is reflected without being changed is called?
The percentage of the sun's energy that is reflected without being changed is called albedo. It represents the ability of a surface to reflect sunlight and can vary depending on the material and color of the surface.
What term refers to a change in signal strength as a result of some of the electromagnetic energy being scattered reflected or diffracted after being issued by the transmitter?
fading also 'attenuation'
As electromagnetic energy from a heat source interacts with its environment it is being?
absorbed, transmitted, or reflected by the materials in its surroundings. This interaction causes the temperature of the objects to change, leading to the transfer of heat energy. Ultimately, the electromagnetic energy is converted into thermal energy in the form of heat.
When energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
When the suns rays strike earths surface what does energy do?
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface, the energy is either absorbed, reflected, or scattered. This energy is essential for driving various processes on Earth, such as warming the surface, powering the water cycle, and enabling photosynthesis in plants.
When energy is transferred from the air to the water what happens to most of the energy?
Most of it will end up in the water It travels through the water.
