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.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
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 it called when heat energy gets trapped in earths atmosphere?
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
When earths atmosphere traps energy from the sun what does it cause?
When Earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun, it causes an increase in temperature on the surface of the Earth, known as the greenhouse effect. This can lead to global warming, climate change, and various environmental impacts.
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
When a space vehicle reenters the Earth's atmosphere energy does kinetic transform into heat energy.?
Yes, during reentry, the kinetic energy of the spacecraft is converted into heat due to air resistance. This heat is generated by the compression of air in front of the spacecraft, resulting in extremely high temperatures on the vehicle's surface. Heat shields are used to protect the spacecraft and dissipate this heat during reentry.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
When rocket reenters the atmosphere its nose cone beomes hotwhere does this heat energy come from?
From the rocket's movement energy (formally called kinetic energy). As the rocket slows down through friction, its kinetic energy is converted mainly to heat energy.
How is energy transfered within the earths atmosphere and throughout the ocean?
by convection
Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?
No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
