◦ true
◦ false
Question 2
________ refers to the passage of shortwave and longwave energy, either through the atmosphere or water. A portion of arriving energy bounces directly back into space without being converted into heat or performing any work. This returned energy is called ________, and it applies to both visible and ultraviolet light. The reflective quality of a surface is its ________. Insolation encounters an increasing density of atmospheric gases as it travels down to the surface. These molecules redirect the insolation, changing the direction of light's movement without altering its wavelengths. This phenomenon is known as ________ and represents 7 percent of Earth's albedo. When insolation enters the atmosphere, it passes from one medium to another (from virtually empty space to atmospheric gas) and is subject to a bending action called ________. ________ is the
assimilation of radiation and its
conversion from one form to another.
Iron in the Sun’s Atmosphere
