What does the amount of energy in the atmosphere depend on?
The amount of energy in the atmosphere depends on factors such as incoming solar radiation, the Earth's surface temperature, greenhouse gas concentrations, and atmospheric circulation patterns. This energy drives weather systems and influences climate patterns globally.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere is referred to as?
The amount of heat energy in Earth's atmosphere is referred to as temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance or system. It is a key factor in determining weather patterns and climate.
What energy source helps evaporate water from the earths surface in the water cycle?
The sun
What two things can happen to electromagnetic energy that enters the earths atmosphere?
Electromagnetic energy that enters the Earth's atmosphere can be reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere and surface. Absorption can lead to heating of the atmosphere and contribute to processes like the greenhouse effect.
How does unstable air contribute to storms?
For a storm to develop, air parcels from the ground and the lower atmosphere have to get lifted to the higher atmosphere. The trigger for this to happen, is the instability of the air. warm air from the ground gets lifted while cold air from the higher atmosphere gets descended, thus the barycenter of the atmosphere gets lowered. The energy freed by this is the storm.
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.
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground
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.
Which form of frequency spectrum best describes the method of energy transfer that most solar energy takes as it comes into earths atmosphere?
The solar energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere follows the electromagnetic spectrum, with most of it falling within the visible and near-infrared region. This energy is predominantly in the form of shortwave radiation, which gets absorbed by the Earth's surface, heats it up, and then gets re-radiated as longwave infrared radiation back into the atmosphere.
What do you call energy that gets trapped in your atmosphere from the sun?
The energy that gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere from the sun is called solar radiation. This energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and contributes to the warming of the planet through a process known as the greenhouse effect.
Why spacecraft get hot while enter into the earths atmosphere?
A spacecraft has to work against the air friction when it enters our atmosphere. Thus it gets heated a
Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
