The sun continuously radiates energy into space in all directions. Some of the sun's energy is intercepted by the Earth. The ave

rage temperature of the surface of the Earth remains a little above 300 k. Why doesn't the Earth's temperature rise as it intercepts the sun's energy?
A. The Earth reflects the sun's light.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

C. The energy only raises the temperature of the upper atmosphere and never reaches the surface.

D. The thermal conductivity of the Earth is low.

E. The heat is carried away from the Earth by convection currents.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:
White raven [17]
Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

I know how the voltage increasing/not enough/stays the same and how long the battery lasts with series and parallel connections.
kirill [66]

Answer:

It comes out the positive side of the battery and goes in to the negative side of the battery

Explanation:

There are already electrons in wires in a circuit before you add the battery. By adding the battery, you're giving the electrons the energy it needs to move along the circuit.

In a series circuit, the circuit is one continuous loop so there is only one path for the electrons to go - out of the positive side of the battery and around the circuit then goes back into the negative side of the battery.

However, with a parallel circuit, there are two or more ways the electrons can go so they take the path of least resistance. The electrons still go out the positive side of a battery but along the circuit, the electrons will go through the path of least resistance ( I tend to think of it like a net with holes in it - the lower the resistance the bigger the holes for the electrons to go through so more can fit in a set amount of time ) but the electrons still go out of the positive side and in through the negative
