The energy Earth receives from the Sun is often called solar energy.
The rate at which this energy arrives at Earth is about 174 petawatts ( 1 petawatt = 1,000 trillion watts) at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space.
The sun energy at the Earth's surface is mostly in the visible and near-infrared ranges with a small amount in the near-ultraviolet.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What is the percentage Of solar radiation entering the atmosphere reflected by the earths surface?
About 30% of solar radiation entering the Earth's atmosphere is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, a phenomenon known as albedo. Of this, roughly 10% is reflected directly by the surface, while the rest is reflected by clouds and atmospheric particles. The exact percentage can vary based on factors like surface type and atmospheric conditions.
What type of gas is found atmosphere?
hydrogen and helium
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
What type of cloud is the highest in the Earth's atmosphere?
Notilucent clouds
What type of cloud is the highest in the earths atmosphere?
Notilucent clouds
What type of scientist study objects beyond the earths atmosphere?
Biologist
What type of energy provides almost all earths energy?
Oil
What type of energy is transmitted through the atmosphere?
Through the atmosphere rather than by the atmosphere, then that would be electromagnetic energy.
Earths nearest star radiates what type of energy?
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
What type of graph is best to show the percentage of gases in earths atmosphere?
Circle graph
Which type of graph is the best to show the percentage gases in earths atmosphere?
a data table(NOT FOR SURE)
What type of gases is in earths atmosphere?
Atmosphere contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95%oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.
What type of radiation enters earths atmosphere?
The UV radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface is mostly UVA and some UVB. Almost half the daytime total of the more harmful UVB radiation is received between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Even on a cloudy day, you can be sunburned by UVB radiation.
What energy source is found deep within the earth?
There are many energy sources in the earth. Most commonly found deep inside of the earth's crust would be geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is a type of thermal energy that is cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and most of all, environmentally friendly. It is created by pumping water from the earths core into a turbine, where some of the water is "flashed" into steam. The steam then enters a generator, which helps provide the energy to us.
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
Which type of graph is best to show the percentage of gases in earths atmosphere?
A pie chart would be the best type of graph to show the percentage of gases in Earth's atmosphere. Each gas can be represented as a slice of the pie, with the size of each slice corresponding to the percentage of that gas in the atmosphere.
