When energy from the sun reaches earth it is not?
absorbed by earth's core
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
Most solar energy that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, such as the land, oceans, and vegetation. This absorption heats up the Earth's surface and is then radiated back into the atmosphere as heat energy.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Is energy absorbed or reflected by earth?
Both absorption and reflection of energy occur on Earth. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, some of it is absorbed by the land, water, and atmosphere, warming the planet. However, some of the sunlight is also reflected back into space by clouds, ice, and other reflective surfaces.
What happens to the solar energy that is absorbed by earth?
Most of it is reflected back into space.
