The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
Yes, the Earth's surface absorbs about 50% of the Sun's incoming solar radiation, while the atmosphere absorbs about 20%. The absorbed energy is then re-emitted by the Earth's surface as infrared radiation.
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.
Where on earths surface does most most precipitation fall?
Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
What happens to visible light when it enters earths atmosphere?
When visible light enters Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with air molecules and scatters in different directions. Some of the light is absorbed by gases like ozone and water vapor, while the rest continues through the atmosphere and reaches the surface of the Earth, enabling us to see our surroundings.
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
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.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
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.
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%
How much radiation is absorbed by the earths surface?
The amount of radiation absorbed by the Earth's surface varies depending on factors such as location, time of day, and cloud cover. On average, about half of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface, where it is then transformed into heat energy.
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
What three things can happen to the radiation that earths receives from the sun?
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
When the Sun's rays strike earths surface energy is what?
When the Sun's rays strike Earth's surface, energy is absorbed and converted into heat. This process is responsible for heating the land, oceans, and atmosphere, driving processes such as weather patterns and the water cycle.
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
