Scientists want to predict solar winds in Earth's atmosphere to help them track geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms can disrupt the Earth's magnetosphere.

What happens when solar wind approaches earths atmosphere?
When solar wind approaches the earth's atmosphere a collision occurs. This creates light.
What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground
How does ash in earths atmosphere affect solar radition?
tectonic plate movement
How does volcanic ash in earths atmosphere effect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
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.
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
yes
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
It is radiated by many of the gases in the lower atmosphere.

How can scientists predict global warming?
Climate is easier to predict than weather, as climate is not subject to the same vagaries. Scientists use complex computer simulations to model climate change. Climate models have successfully predicted changes on all seven of the eight planets in our solar system which possess atmospheres. Mercury, with no atmosphere, essentially has no climate.
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
What three gasses present in Earths atmosphere absorb solar radiation?
Carbon dioxideMethaneNitrous Oxide
Earths atmosphere is heated mainly by what?
The sun as it is the most powerful heat source in our solar system.
