∙ 10y agosound has encountered a surface with different acoustic properties, causing it to bounce off instead of being absorbed or transmitted through the surface.
When a sound from a source is refracted away from the surface of the Earth, it indicates that the sound waves have encountered a layer of air with different temperature and speed of sound properties. This causes the sound waves to bend away from the surface, leading to the phenomenon of sound refraction.
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by the Earth's surface, where it heats up the land, water, and atmosphere. This absorption of solar energy drives processes like photosynthesis, weather patterns, and ocean currents.
sound speed is increasing with height above the ground. This refraction occurs due to a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude in the atmosphere, causing the sound waves to bend away from the surface of the Earth.
When radiation hits Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. Some of the absorbed radiation warms the surface, causing temperatures to increase, while some is re-radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. The remaining radiation is reflected back into space, contributing to Earth's energy balance.
Roughly 70% of solar energy is absorbed by Earth's surface and atmosphere, while about 30% is reflected back into space. This balance is important for regulating Earth's temperature and sustaining life on our planet.
The surface is warmer than the air above it, causing upward refraction.
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
to use ur eyes wow really -.-..... Light emitted by the Sun is reflected to Earth by the Moon's surface.
Approximately 30% of the incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by the atmosphere and Earth's surface. This reflection plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's temperature and balancing the energy budget of the planet.

It is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface onto the earth.
25% is absorbed by clouds and atmosphere.25% is reflected by clouds.45% is absorbed by the earth's surface.5% is reflected by ice and snow on the earth's surface.So 5% is "lost", that is, reflected back into space.See the diagram link below.
When radiation reaches Earth's surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or scattered. The amount of radiation that is absorbed can contribute to heating of the surface and atmosphere. This process is fundamental for maintaining Earth's energy balance and climate.
About 6 percent of solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface, with the remaining percentage being reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
The source of all energy in our atmosphere is the sun.Some energy is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface (all of the above) When Earth receives energy from the Sun.
