Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
Is all the energy that earth receives from the sun used in photosynthesis?
No.Some is reflected or absorbed by clouds and dust in the atmosphere.Some warms the earth.Some is reflected by ice and snow.
What percentage of the suns energy that reaches the earth is absorbed by earth surface?
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
Is all of the solar energy reaching the earth reflected back into space?
Yes, the sun is the source of energy for all weather due to the fact that weather is caused by collisions in temperatures and pressures. Without the sun, there would be no heat. Therefore, no weather.
What absorbs the sun energy?
Everything on planet Earth, including the atmosphere, the oceans, the ice caps, the continents, and the man made objects absorb some of the sun's energy. About 30 to 35% of the sun's energy is reflected. Clouds, ice, and snow are good reflectors.
What is the sun's energy reflected into?
Solar energy reflected by clouds (20%) and the earth's surface (4%) is all reflected back into space.
Is energy absorbed or reflected when the sun's rays strike the earth's surface?
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.
Some energy from the Sun is reflected back into what?
Space.
What does earth's energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
Is more energy from the sun absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface?
Absorbed
When the Sun's rays strikes Earth's surface energy is reflected or absorbed?
absorbed
How much of the Sun's radiant energy is reflected by clouds or scattered by the atmosphere?
27%
What happen to the energy from the sun when is reflected or absurd by the atmosphere?
They get burned in the Green house gases
What does energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
