Down
- 1. - Heated/radiated air rises up and is released into the atmosphere
- 2. about 20% of solar radiation is reflected and 3% is absorbed.
- 3. gasses in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat
- 6. The convectional measure of the solar constant at a distance of approximately 1AU
- 7. Represents the constant amount of energy that reaches the top of Earth's atmosphere from the sun in watts per meter squared.
- 12. of the 51% of the suns energy that is absorbed by the surface about 25% of absorbed surface radiation is released into space when precipitation is converted into water vapor in this process
