What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface?
Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.
What is one reason that ozone near the earths suface is dangerous?

What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What effect does dust and dirt have on earths radiation?
They tends to block incoming solar radiation, thereby cooling the surface. They don't really impact Earth's longwave radiation.
True or False On avereage clouds reflect more solar radiation back to space than the earths surface?
no
What happens to solar radiation from the moment it leaves the sun until it reaches earths surface?
It find its way to earth
How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reachs the earth?
Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What causes solar radiation to strike different parts of the earths surface at an angle that varies throughout the year?
