Water.
The actual is Clouds, gases and dust reflects 25% of the incoming sun light.
Clouds reflect light back to space. Dust particles and gases reflect light in all directions in a process called scattering. Gas particles scatter shorter wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet), and that is why the sky is blue.
Some sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere before it can reach the surfaces.
Energy from the Sun.
Energy from the Sun.
heat energy transferred by earths atmosphere by the sun
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.
The atmosphere reflects some of the energy back into space.
Earth ozone layer :D
in straight lines towards the earth The sun shines light into the Earth's atmosphere and the atmosphere reflects it back onto the Earth to provide power, energy, heat, and light for us all to live.
Some sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere before it can reach the surfaces.
The ozone layer reflects the sun's radiation. these are harmful UV rays.
The energy in the earth's atmosphere primarily originates from the Sun. The Sun heats the earth and the water, heating the atmosphere.
The sun doesn't heat and power things like weather evenly. Since the Earth is a sphere, different parts of the world absorb heat at different rates. The energy from the sun enters and leaves Earth through absorption.
The benefit of the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun is to keep Earth warm.
there are plenty of things in the atmosphere that absorb energy. most obvious known is ozone that absorbs harmful UV rays from the sun. Also there is dust/dirt particles in the atmosphere that are so small that when a beam of light hits it, it reflects blue light giving the impression of a blue atmosphere.
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
The Sun.
the amount of energy absorbed by the sun and the amount of energy that escapes the earths atmosphere.
