What else can I help you with?
Does lightning need oxygen to exist?
No, lightning does not require oxygen to exist because it is an electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere. Lightning is the result of an imbalance of electrical charges in the atmosphere and is not dependent on the presence of oxygen.
Does lightning know things?
No, lightning is a natural phenomenon caused by electrical discharge in the atmosphere and doesn't possess knowledge or consciousness. It is a result of the build-up and release of electrical energy in the atmosphere during thunderstorms.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorved by earths surface?
The energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is converted into heat. This heat is then re-radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's overall temperature and driving weather patterns and climate systems.
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.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
What does the amount of energy in the atmosphere depend on?
The amount of energy in the atmosphere depends on factors such as incoming solar radiation, the Earth's surface temperature, greenhouse gas concentrations, and atmospheric circulation patterns. This energy drives weather systems and influences climate patterns globally.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
Lightning is form of what kind of energy?
Lightning is a form of electrical energy caused by the build-up and discharge of electricity in the atmosphere during thunderstorms.
Is there energy in the atmosphere?
Yes. Of course there is energy in the atmosphere. That energy drives the winds and wind storms like hurricanes and tornadoes, as well as producing lightning, etc.
How is energy transfered within the earths atmosphere and throughout the ocean?
by convection
What are the sources of energy that power the earths systems?
The sun and the earth's interior are the two sources of energy that power earth's systems.
What are the two sources of energy for the earths systems?
solar system and gas
Does lightning need oxygen to exist?
No, lightning does not require oxygen to exist because it is an electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere. Lightning is the result of an imbalance of electrical charges in the atmosphere and is not dependent on the presence of oxygen.
Is lightning an example of electrical energy?
Short Answer: Yes! But it is also light energy.
Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?
No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.
