The earth absorbs about 45% of solar radiation, 29% are emitted back to space. This process of solar radiation being absorbed and distributed to the components of the earth and the reflection of excess energy back to space is known as the earth's energy budget and this process is necessary to keep the temperature of the earth relatively stable.
If the energy absorbed by the earth is less than the energy leaving the earth, the earths temperature will decrease. This means that there is less energy coming in compared to the energy lost to space.
Events which occur in chemical reactions like photosynthesis are extremely fast.
Explanation:
To see what happens in reactions such as photosynthesis, scientists need advanced cameras that can capture ultra-fast motions occurring within extremely short scales of time.
