100% of the energy entering earthâs atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earthâs surface i.e. the land and oceans. ~30% is directly reflected back to space by clouds, the earthâs surface and different gases and particles in the atmosphere (the earth's albedo is 0.3 on average). ~20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds. The 70% of the sunâs energy that is absorbed by the earthâs surface, clouds, and atmosphere causes warming. Any object or gas that has a temperature emits radiation outward, and this is ultimately re-radiated back into space.
Earth's surface is heated by energy from the Sun. For the most part, the rereleased energy from the surface heats the atmosphere. Describe the method by which energy is transferred from Earth's surface to the air above it. particles of air on Earth's surface collide with and transfer energy to particles of air in the very lowest part of the atmosphere by conduction.
