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 the air in the atmosphere is unevenly warm by the suns wind currents are the results?

Uneven warming of the air by the sun creates differences in temperature, which in turn causes wind currents to form. These wind currents move air masses around the globe, influencing weather patterns and climate. The interaction of these wind currents can result in the formation of various weather phenomena such as storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes.


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.


How much of the Suns energy is absorbed by earth's geosphere?

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.


Before the suns ray can reach earth surface they have topass through the?

Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different layers such as the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. As sunlight passes through these layers, it is filtered and scattered, with some of the light being absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere. This process can affect the color and intensity of the sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.
