Answer 2

Scattering of solar radiation within the atmosphere also accounts for a reduction of energy reaching Earth. Atmospheric gas molecules and aerosols deflect solar radiation from its original path, scattering (reflecting) some radiation back into deep space and some toward Earth's surface.

Answer 5

she got it lol
beat me to it

Answer 6

However, scattering reduces the quantity of incoming radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. Shortwave solar energy that is dispersed is returned back to space in large amounts.
