What else can I help you with?
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 the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the Earths surface?
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The layer of air above the Earth's surface is called the atmosphere. It is composed of various gases and extends several kilometers into space.
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 a thin layer of air that protects the earths surface?
The thin layer of air that protects the Earth's surface is known as the atmosphere. It is composed of different gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, that help regulate temperature, protect from harmful radiation, and maintain the conditions necessary for life to exist on Earth.
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
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
Where on earths surface does most most precipitation fall?
Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
What is the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the Earths surface?
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
What is the movement of water from earths surface to the atmosphere and back again?
it is water cycle
