Where do thermal energy go when it is wasted?
It heats up the environment. Eventually, it will be radiated out into space.
What becomes of the energy from the sun that continuously enters the earth?
Most of it is eventually radiated into space. Any object radiates energy, depending on its temperature.
What form of energy is travels through space?
Radiated energy of: light heat radio microwaves x-rays cosmic rays gamma rays and so on.
Why do you say that solor energy is one way traffic?
Energy comes from Sun to Earth (and is also radiated into space in general). No significant amount of energy gets back into the Sun. That means that the Sun continuously loses energy.
What do you call the transfer of thermal energy as waves that can involve energy transfer through matter or across empty space?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy.If it is across empty space, then it's radiated heat.If through matter, then heat conduction.There is also convection, which is gas molecules gaining the heat energy, then the gas moves around, carrying the heat with it.
What is balanced between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
What is the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing solar energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
What happens to the energy radiated by the earth?
It's lost to space
What energy is radiated by Earths oceans into space?
biochemical raditaion
What is the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space called?
According to scientists, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy radiated into space is considered the earth energy budget.
Where does thermal energy go when it gets cold?
It will be radiated into outer space.
Where do thermal energy go when it is wasted?
It heats up the environment. Eventually, it will be radiated out into space.
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.
Solar radiation that is not reflected by Earth's systems is absorbed This absorbed energy is then reradiates as what into space?
This absorbed energy is then re-radiated as heat
The Earth loses energy to space only at night?
Of course not. Energy is radiated out all the time. The hotter an object, the more energy will radiate away.
When the solar energy reaches the earth where does it go?
Some gets absorbed and converted into other energy forms. Most of the energy will eventually get radiated back into space.
What becomes of the energy from the sun that continuously enters the earth?
Most of it is eventually radiated into space. Any object radiates energy, depending on its temperature.
