Question

8. Name the three different processes that the Sun's radiant energy will go through once it enters our atmosphere?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The three process are as follows -

1. Reflection - part of the solar radiation will reflect back to space by gas molecules, aerosols, clouds etc  .

2. Scattering -  sunlight can be scattered by water vapor dust particles and gas molecules according to their size compared to the wavelength. the sky appears blue due to the scattering  .

3. Absorption - some of the solar energy gets absorbed by the gas molecules, Ozone molecules can absorb high energy ultraviolet .
