Radiant energy is reflected from earth and back into space by what wave?

Radiant energy is reflected from Earth and back into space by electromagnetic waves, particularly by the shorter wavelengths of visible light. These waves carry energy away from Earth as they are reflected back into space, helping to maintain the planet's energy balance.


What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?

The radiant energy reflected back by a surface is called "reflection".


Radiant energy is reflected back into space as this type of ray.?

This type of ray is referred to as "shortwave" rays.


What happens to most of the sun radiant energy?

Most of the Sun's radiant energy is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is then converted into heat. Some of it is reflected back into space by clouds and the Earth's surface.


When earth receives energy from the sun some energy escapes back into what?

When Earth receives energy from the sun, some of the energy is reflected back into space. This reflected energy is mainly in the form of infrared radiation.


What happens to the suns energy that is reflected?

It goes back into space.


What occurs when radiant energy is reflected back into space?

Solar energy that heats the surface is re-radiated as infrared radiation, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere in the process. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide can all collect this re-radiated energy to some extent.


What happens to the solar energy that is absorbed by earth?

Most of it is reflected back into space.


Some energy from the Sun is reflected back into what?

Some energy from the Sun is reflected back into space. This reflection occurs when sunlight hits objects like clouds, particles in the atmosphere, and the Earth's surface, causing some of the energy to bounce back rather than be absorbed.


What happens to the solar energy that is absorbed by Earth's surface?

Most of it is reflected back into space.


What happens to the solar energy that is not absorbed by Earth's surface?

Most of it is reflected back into space.


What happens to solar energy that is not absorbed by earth's surface?

Most of it is reflected back into space.
