Question

Part of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface is absorbed by land and water as heat. The Earth's surface then releases heat back to the atmosphere.

Answer 1

Answer:

"Much of the heat is trapped low in the atmosphere and is a major factor in determining Earth's climate" is true about this solar energy that is absorbed and released by Earth's surface as heat.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide being one of the atmospheric gases capture the heat like a greenhouse glass roof therefore called as greenhouse gasses. Conduction, convection and radiation plays a great role in the transfer of heat between the surface of Earth and atmosphere.

Most conductive energy transfer occurs right below the surface of the Earth as air is a poor conductor.During the day sunlight warms-up the ground, which in turn via conduction heats the air directly above it.

While the Earth's surface cools down at night by freeing heat back into the air but some of the heat gets captured in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases. Therefore our Earth at an average have warm and cozy 58 degrees Fahrenheit or 14 degrees Celsius maintained temperature in normal cases.
