The trapping of the sun's energy in Earth's atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. This natural process involves certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere, which helps to keep Earth's surface warm enough to support life. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have intensified this effect and contributed to global warming.
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.
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.
Less than 1% of the Sun's energy is absorbed by Earth's geosphere. The majority of the Sun's energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and surface of the Earth.
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.
Roughly 3% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth is absorbed by the hydrosphere. This energy plays a crucial role in driving processes like evaporation, which fuel the water cycle that is essential for the Earth's climate system.
Heat!!
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.

The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm
The phenomenon of the atmosphere trapping the sun's energy is known as the greenhouse effect. It occurs when certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in the planet's temperature. This process is essential for maintaining temperatures suitable for life on Earth.
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.
No it is not.
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
Your mom is the answer to my std.
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
The suns energy
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
