Answer:
Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.
Explanation:
The solar energy cycle functions in the following form:
- Considering that 100% of energy is directed at earth.
- When 100% light is incident on the Earth's surface about 6-7% of it is reflected back by the atmosphere into space.
- 20% is reflected back by the clouds.
- And about 4% is reflected back by Earth's surface.
- 16% of solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, 3% is absorbed by clouds and 51% is absorbed by land and ocean.
- From the absorbed energy, 64% is radiated back to space from clouds and atmosphere and 6% is directly radiated back to space from earth.
- From the radiated energy 15% is absorbed by the atmosphere and 23% is carried by the clouds and atmosphere through the latent heat in water vapor.
Therefore, absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

A baseball traveling at 100 mph has more kinetic energy than a baseball traveling at 50 mph because the kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity. Since the baseballs should have the same mass, the velocity is what will determine which ball has more kinetic energy. Since the 100 mph baseball has a higher velocity than the 50 mph baseball, it has more kinetic energy.
<span>The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.</span>
