Answer:

The Kinetic Theory of Matter or KTM as i will call it, states that every object is made of many many small particles (humans are made of sextillions of atoms), and that they are constantly moving and bumping each other. The degree to which the particles move is determined by the amount of energy they have and their relationship to other particles.

An example would be Brownian Motion- the random movement of dust particles because of collisions with "air" molecules and how gases behave i.e. Boyle's, Charles', and Gay-Lussac's Laws.

Answer:

48%

Explanation:

The earth's temperature has to be stable and this is the reason for the presence of incoming and outgoing heat. Of the solar energy reaching the atmosphere, about 29% is bounced back as reflected radiation by clouds, snow and particles in the atmosphere, about 23% is absorbed by the atmosphere and about 48% actually gets to the earth surface.
