Question

Greater solar irradiance means more energy is delivered per second to an area. What effect will higher solar irradiance have on the heating of the atmosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

In regions with high solar irradiance, the atmosphere will receive more thermal energy from the Sun. It heats up faster than the regions with lower irradiance.

Answer 2

The resulting imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation will likely cause Earth to heat up over the next century, accelerating the melting polar ice caps, causing sea levels to rise and increasing the probability of more violent global weather patterns.
