CCC Matter and Energy The dashed curve shows

the average amount of radiation emitted by each
square meter of Earth's surface. On its way up,
some of that energy is absorbed or scattered by
the atmosphere. The solid curve shows the amount
that would be observed looking down from the
"top of the atmosphere" (TOA). Explain why there
are "dips" in that curve.

The amount of absorption force is not same at all time and at all where .

It has difference at different time periods

So during those the curve goes up and down and repeat this flow

So there are dips
