What is suns hotter region directly above the visible surface?

The hottest region directly above the visible surface of the Sun is the corona, which is an outer layer of the Sun's atmosphere. Temperatures in the solar corona can reach millions of degrees Kelvin, much higher than the visible surface temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius.


What percent of the suns energy is absorbed at earths surface?

Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.


What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?

The sun's energy reaches the Earth in the form of sunlight (solar radiation), which is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The surface then heats up and radiates heat back into the atmosphere, creating what is known as the greenhouse effect. Some of the heat is trapped by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life.


What percentage of suns radiation is reflected by the earths surface?

About 30% of the sun's radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere. This reflection is known as albedo and helps regulate the Earth's temperature.


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.
