False
Some of the Sun's energy is reflected off of clouds.
True
False
Most of the heat coming from Earth's surface is stopped by clouds and certain gasses
True
False
The way in which heat is trapped close to the surface of Earth by gases in our atmosphere is known as
The Trapping Effect
The Gaseous Effect
The Greenhouse Effect
The Earth Energy Budget Effect

convection
conduction
radiation
pressurization
Which color of light has the longest wavelength?

If greenhouse gases increase and build up in our atmosphere, what happens?
They trap more heat and global temperatures rise.
They trap more heat and global temperatures decrease.
They trap less heat and global temperatures rise.
They trap less heat and global temperatures decrease.
The energy coming in to from the sun minus the energy being radiated out is known as
the greenhouse effect
global warming
Earth's energy budget
the electromagnetic spectrum
The wavelengths of electromagnetic energy that can be seen by humans is known as
ultrared radiation
visible light
ultraviolet radiation
infrared radiation
According to the diagram, what can happen when solar energy hits clouds in Earth's atmosphere?
it can be reflected or absorbed
it can only be absorbed
it can only be reflected
it is neither reflected nor absorbed
Which type of solar energy has the longest wavelength?
ultraviolet radiation
they all have the same wavelengths
visible light
infrared radiation
Infrared Light is
the light you can see from the sun
this is where most of the warmth that you feel from the sun comes from
higher-energy radiation that can harm life
Ultraviolet light is
the light you can see from the sun
this is where most of the warmth that you feel from the sun comes from
higher-energy radiation that can harm life
True or False:
An unbalanced energy budget can increase or decrease global temperatures and disrupt the balance of energy in Earth's system.
True
False
Earth's energy budget is like an equation. Choose the correct equation.
energy in = energy out
energy in is less than energy out
energy in is more than energy out
The sun transfers energy to Earth by radiation
True
False
