Answer:
1.What energy enters the earth's atmosphere as shown from the illustration?
the sun
Energy from the sun heats Earth's surface, warms the atmosphere, provides energy for photosynthesis, causes evaporation, drives the weather and water cycles, and powers the ocean currents.
2.What happens with the energy that entered the earth's atmosphere and to the surface?
About 29 percent of the solar energy that arrives at the top of the atmosphere is reflected back to space by clouds, atmospheric particles, or bright ground surfaces like sea ice and snow. This energy plays no role in Earth's climate system.
3.Where will most of the energy go after it is reflected from the earth's surface?
Of the 340 watts per square meter of solar energy that falls on the Earth, 29% is reflected back into space, primarily by clouds, but also by other bright surfaces and the atmosphere itself. About 23% of incoming energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by atmospheric gases, dust, and other particles.
4. Which is responsible for absorbing the energy coming from the sun that is retained in the earth's atmosphere?
The primary gases that are responsible for the majority of the atmospheric absorption of energy are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone. Water Vapor (H2O): Very strong absorber in 5.5-7.0 μm range and > 27 μm. Note that water vapor in the atmosphere is also variable in time and space.
