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 releas

es heat back to the atmosphere. Which of the following is true about this solar energy that is absorbed and released by Earth's surface as heat?
All of this heat escapes the Earth's atmosphere, which keeps the planet hot.

Much of the heat is trapped low in the atmosphere and is a major factor in determining Earth's climate.

Much of the heat is trapped at the top of Earth's atmosphere to protect Earth from ultraviolet radiation.

Answer: B. Much of the heat is trapped low in the atmosphere and is a major factor in determining Earth's climate.

Explanation:

Presence of atmosphere on Earth is one of the major reason of life being habitable on it. Earth receives large amount of solar radiation from the Sun. 30% of this reflects back and rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans and land mass. The heat trapped by the atmosphere makes the conditions livable on it. An average temperature of 14 degrees is maintained with the heat trapped. In the low atmosphere, this trapped heat is a major factor determining climate in different hemispheres.

Thus, correct option is B. Much of the heat is trapped low in the atmosphere and is a major factor in determining Earth's climate.

What is force <br>what is the importance of force​
frutty [35]

Force is the ability to cause masses to accelerate.

Without force, you could not make stuff accelerate.

If something was moving, you could not make it speed up, slow down, stop, or go in a different direction.

If a thing was not moving, you could not make it move at all.

What would happen to the moon if earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
Mila [183]
There are two equal forces of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
One force pulls the Moon toward the Earth.
The other force pulls the Earth toward the Moon.

If only this gravity suddenly switched off, then the moon would
continue to orbit the Sun, very much as it does now.

If ALL gravity suddenly switched off, then . . .

-- the Moon would stop orbiting the Earth and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- the Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- all the gases surrounding the Earth ... which we call "air" ... would
start drifting away, and expanding into a giant cloud of gas, and stop
being an atmosphere;

-- the Sun would completely fall apart, expand into a giant cloud of gas,
and stop being a star.

What is the relationship between the speed of an object and its kinetic energy?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
