Can microwave rays get through the earths atmosphere?
Microwave rays can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as they are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is not absorbed or blocked by gases in the atmosphere. This is why microwave communication systems like satellites are able to transmit signals through the atmosphere.
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.
What is 78 percent of earths atmosphere composed of?
Nitrogen makes up about 78 percent of Earth's atmosphere.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Gas that makes up 20 percent of total air volume in earths atmosphere?
Oxygen is the gas that accounts for about 20 percent of Earth's atmosphere.
What effect can a very large eruption have on earths climate?
It will cool the earth's surface as radiation from the sun is blocked from entering the atmosphere
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.

When solar radiation enters the atmosphere most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the earths surface. However about 6 percent of the solar radiation is blank by the earths surface?
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by the Earth's surface. However, about 6 percent of the solar radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface. This reflection occurs mainly from surfaces like ice, snow, and water, which have high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of incoming solar energy.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What percent of earths atmosphere is oxygen?
97%
What is 78 percent of the earths atmosphere?
nitrogen
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
How does most of the heat in the earths atmosphere move from place to place?
Convectionheat moves by, radiation(:
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.
What is blocked from reaching the earths surface by the ozone layer?
commonly 'sunlight', but more specifically UltraViolet radiation
