What happens to solar radiation as it tries to reach the surface of or planet? - Atmosphere is largely transparent to incoming solar radiation; Most visible radiation reaches the surface; About 50% absorbed at Earth's surface; Absorption: energy is converted to heat; Reflection: energy bounces off a surface (albedo: percentage of light reflected); Scattering: dust and gas molecules scatter energy in all directions What is albedo? How can albedo change? - Percentage of diffusely reflected sun...
