Question

Part of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere about ___ actually reaches the earth's surface

Answer 1

48%

Step-by-step 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.
