What happens to the sun's energy as it is reflected back from the earth?
When the sun's energy is reflected back from the Earth, it can be absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface. Some of the energy gets trapped and warms the Earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect. The rest is radiated back towards space.
Where does coal gets its energy from?
Coal gets its energy from the sun. Millions of years ago, plants and organic matter trapped solar energy through photosynthesis and converted it into chemical energy. Over time, this organic matter was compressed and heated, forming the coal we use as a fuel source today.
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 happens to most of the energy when earth surface absorbs light?
Most of the light's energy gets converted into heat.
The energy an object gets from its motion is?
The energy an object gets from its motion is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is dependent on the speed and mass of an object.
How does the suns energy get trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
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.
What happens to the sun's energy as it is reflected back from the earth?
When the sun's energy is reflected back from the Earth, it can be absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface. Some of the energy gets trapped and warms the Earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect. The rest is radiated back towards space.
How does Earths Atmosphere Gets Energy?
Earth's atmosphere gets energy primarily from the sun. Solar radiation heats the atmosphere, creating temperature gradients and driving weather patterns. Some energy is also exchanged between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface through processes like conduction, convection, and evaporation.
What happens if the greenhouse gas gets out of control?
heat is trapped in the atmosphere, ice melts, flooding, mass extinction, ect.
What gets trapped by the atmosphere that controls the temperature?
I don't but im on a website ha ha ha ha ha;D
Why does it gets so hot inside a car parked in the sun?
Energy from light waves is trapped inside the car as heat energy.
How does a meteorite transfer energy when it sticks to earth?
it gets caught by the atmosphere
What happens when the atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
High frequency wave energy enters the atmosphere; it gets absorbed by matter on earth and in the atmosphere; the energy then is emitted at infrared wavelengths; the infrared waves are two large to pass out of the atmosphere and they are reflected back and trapped in the atmosphere. It is typified by the heating of a car, light comes in by the windows heats the interior and the heat waves can't escape back out of the window, so the car gets ho9tter than the outside asd heat builds up.
When heat from the sun warms the ground on earth and then radiates back into the atmosphere this is known as what?
This process is known as the greenhouse effect. The Earth's surface absorbs sunlight and re-emits it as heat energy, which gets trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This process helps to keep the Earth warm enough to support life.
Can deforestation aggravate environmental problems?
yes because there are less trees to breathe in the co2 (carbon dioxide) so more gets trapped in the atmosphere.
