Why does some of the suns energy reflect back into space?
Some of the sun's energy reflects back into space because of the Earth's atmosphere and surface. When sunlight hits the Earth, some of it is absorbed by clouds, atmospheric gases, ice, snow, and the Earth's surface, and then reflected back into space. This phenomenon is known as albedo.
What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
What shoots from the Suns surface releasing tremendous amounts of energy into space?
Heat rays
How does carbon dioxide trap the outgoing infrared energy from the sun in the earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping freely into space. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, causes the energy to be trapped and leads to warming of the Earth's surface.
The suns energy is generated at its?
The sun's energy is generated at its core through the process of nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy then travels through the sun's layers before being emitted as sunlight into space.
Does the earths atmosphere reflect the suns radiation back into space?
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
What happens to the suns energy that is reflected?
It goes back into space.
Why does some of the suns energy reflect back into space?

Would more of the suns energy reach the earths surface on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.
How the amount of snow coverage could contribute to global cooling?
If the earths surface were covered in snow the suns energy would reflect back into space,there fore not being absorbed by the surface causing a loss of heat creating an ice age.
Why is 6 of the suns energy scattered or reflected into space?
why
What percent of the suns heat can can clouds absorb on a cloudy day?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
How does the suns energy move through outer space?
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.
Where do most of the suns energy fall?
The vast majority of the Sun's energy escapes into space.
How can you use reflect in a sentence?
Often at night I sit and reflect on the days events. reflect = review / think over / mull over A mirror can reflect the suns rays. reflect = throw back/give back / bounce back There facial expressions reflected their thoughts. reflect = display / demonstrate / express
