Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. . . . a Pie Chart. Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole.
About 51% of solar energy reaching the earth is absorbed by the Earth's surface. Incoming solar radiation: 100% Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by â¦ the atmosphere: 16% Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78% Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3% Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55% Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51% (Source: NASA.)
With increases in water vapor, there are associ â¦ ated increases with cloud cover, which in turn increases albedo (reflection). Currently over 28% of the sun's energy is reflected on its way into our atmosphere.16% is absorbed on the way in, most of this by clouds and ozone.ith increases in water vapor, there are associ â¦ ated increases with cloud cover, which in turn increases albedo (reflection).
