The type of surface of an object affects how it radiates and absorbs heat energy by influencing its albedo, emissivity, and conductivity. Objects with darker colors absorb more heat because they have higher absorption rates (lower albedo), while objects with rough textures tend to have higher emissivity, allowing them to efficiently emit heat. Additionally, materials with high thermal conductivity transfer heat more easily, affecting how quickly they absorb or release thermal energy.

Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?

No, concrete does not absorb visible light and re-radiate it as infrared energy. Concrete reflects and scatters visible light, and it absorbs some of the heat energy from sunlight. This absorbed heat can then be released over time as infrared radiation when the concrete cools down.


If a solid object radiates more energy than it absorbs, its?

Cooling down and as such not in thermal equilibrium.


Is it true when heated Earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation?

Yes, of course. Basically, all the energy (or almost all of it) that the Earth absorbs from the Sun must be radiated back into space at some moment.


If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?

If a surface absorbs insolation, its temperature tends to increase as the absorbed energy is converted into heat. The surface absorbs sunlight and converts it into thermal energy, leading to a rise in temperature.


What is a better absorber and radiator of heat energy soil or water?

Water absorbs and radiates heat better than soil does.


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.


When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."


Does the earth radiate energy?

It might be more correct to say that the earth re-radiates energy. Let's look at what's happening and break it down a bit.The sun supplies (radiates) energy, and the earth is in the path of some of it. The earth absorbs some of this energy, and it reflects some of it as well. This occurs on the sun-facing side. Of the energy that it absorbs, it will re-radiate some of that energy out into space when that side of the earth turns away from the sun to make it night.


Why the temperature on earth does not keep on increasing when sun is a kind of energy and where does the energy go?

The earth re-radiates energy when it can. The earth absorbs solar energy, but constantly radiates heat back out into space. When the earth rotates, the "non-sun" side is facing the cold of open space, and the surface of the earth radiates a whole bunch of heat out into the darkness of space. That's why it usually gets cold at night - all that energy is leaving.


What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?

What absorbs most of the energy that is radiated from the earth surface?

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases absorb most of the energy that is radiated from Earth's surface.
