PLZ help with SCIENCE will medal for best answer

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

OpenStudy (isaac.tillman03):

D

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Plz explain why

OpenStudy (isaac.tillman03):

Well look at your answers, the earth is in the solar system correct? Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Which the sun is giving heat to the earth in the picture you showed.

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

No i think b represents reflected sunlight

OpenStudy (welshfella):

its not solar radiation

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes B is reflected

OpenStudy (isaac.tillman03):

it could be A, you do have a point.

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

It should be A

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Well it its NOT that answer then explain which is the answer

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

*if

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

It is definitely A

OpenStudy (isaac.tillman03):

A is the answer/

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

Can you explain why @FaiqRaees

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I dont like direct answers. 😬

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Well when sunlight touches the earth surface(i.e. water, land) some of it gets absorbed to heat the surface and some of it gets reflected.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

ok

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I have another one to that picture

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

not sure what you meant by your last comment

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

oh lol...

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I have another question that goes with the picture for the first question

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yes it should be A cuz once the sunligh hits the surface of the earth, some of it is reflected and the rest is absorbed. the reflected light is then trapped by green houses gases in the troposphere such as methane, carbondioxide... so once enough energy is absorbed by the gases in the atmosphere, they scatter the light in all directions causing it the relfect back to the suface which raises the temperature.... :") yeah

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

ok next question

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

greenhouse effect as i described in the previous discription :")

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

R u sure?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

the energy emmited by the sunlight is absorbed by the greenhouses gasses in the troposphere and once they reach their limit of absorption, they scatter the energy in all direction, causing some of it to hit back to earth...which basically raises the temperature at ground level...

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

ok TY!

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yeah cuz the rest of the options aren't even relevant to the topic.. XD
