Insolation (incoming solar radiation) heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. The warm surface then emits terrestrial radiation (heat energy) back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this terrestrial radiation, leading to an increase in temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.
Both insolation and terrestrial radiation involve the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, with insolation being solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface and terrestrial radiation being the heat energy emitted by the Earth back into the atmosphere.
In terrestrial environments, energy is transferred through the food chain. Producers (plants) convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat the plants or other animals. Energy is continually transferred as organisms consume each other, with some energy lost as heat at each step.
The ultimate source of energy for terrestrial ecosystems is sunlight. Plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then passed on to consumers in the food chain. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur, and the ecosystem would not have the energy needed to sustain life.
No, the sun is not a terrestrial planet. It is a star, a massive ball of plasma that generates energy through nuclear fusion. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are small, rocky planets that orbit the sun.
The primary energy source that drives weather on terrestrial planets like Earth is the Sun. Solar energy drives processes such as the water cycle, which in turn influences atmospheric circulation, temperature patterns, and weather phenomena.

The total amount of energy coming into and leaving the atmosphere is referred to as Earth's energy budget. It includes incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation. This balance of energy is crucial for maintaining Earth's temperature and climate.

Radiation is a way energy transfers in the atmosphere because the sun radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (solar radiation). This energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated back into the atmosphere (terrestrial radiation), contributing to temperature changes and driving weather patterns.
Temperature is thermodynamic energy.
An average temperature, stable atmosphere, and solid composition.

Hawks have more energy in a terrestrial ecosystem compared to plants because they are higher on the food chain and obtain energy by consuming other organisms, including plants. Plants generate energy through photosynthesis, while hawks derive energy from the animals they eat, making them more energy-rich.
