The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
Sunlight gives energy to the surface of earth, in other words, it warms the earth. Some is blocked by clouds and some is reflected away by large white masses of ice cap and glaciers. Sunlight comes as light and heat, but not all of it reaches the earth. Ultra-violet light C, very dangerous to humans, is completely blocked by the ozone layer. Ultra-violet B, which causes sunburn and skin cancer is mostly blocked by the ozone layer. Most ultra-violet A light reaches the earth, where it does little damage.
Reflection: Sunlight can be reflected back into space by clouds, ice, snow, and other reflective surfaces. Scattering: Sunlight can be scattered in different directions by particles in the atmosphere such as dust and aerosols. Absorption: Some sunlight is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere, such as ozone and water vapor, before reaching Earth's surface.
The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected
Rain that falls on land can either be absorbed by the soil and taken up by plants (infiltration), flow along the surface into bodies of water like streams and rivers (runoff), or evaporate back into the atmosphere.

Your mom is the answer to my std.
It gets absorbed by the ground and other objects.It gets refracted back.It gets absorbed by the atmosphere before entering Earth's atmosphere.
Electromagnetic energy that enters the Earth's atmosphere can be reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere and surface. Absorption can lead to heating of the atmosphere and contribute to processes like the greenhouse effect.
Absorption: Some of the sun's radiation is absorbed by gases such as ozone and water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere. Scattering: Particles in the atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions, contributing to the blue color of the sky. Reflection: Some of the sunlight is reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols, and the Earth's surface.
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
The two main things that happen to solar radiation that reaches earth is absorption and reflection. This happens because of the different objects on earth.
The things that affect are in atmosphere. It is basically a layer called ozone layer.
Absorption: The object absorbs some or all of the radiation, which can lead to heating or ionization. Reflection: The radiation bounces off the object without being absorbed, similar to how light reflects off a mirror. Transmission: The radiation passes through the object without being absorbed, like how X-rays pass through the body during a medical imaging procedure.
1. It will catch a flame from entering the Earth's atmosphere. 2. It could explode causing pieces to fly eveywhere. 3. It can enter the atmosphere normally, and land in a very dangerous condition.
The layer of ozone (O3) in the atmosphere absorbs UV-C solar radiation with wavelengths above around 200 nm as well as most UV-B radiation. UV-C radiation is very harmful to living things, so without the ozone layer we would have to keep ourselves, our families, our pets and our plants shielded from sunlight.
i say it makes it warmer, it gets absorbs by the ozone layer, and it damages the atmosphere.
