Asked by Camryn

What happens to energy from the sun that is neither reflected nor absorbed by the atmosphere? Is this right? It is absorbed by the land and water and warmed(changed to heat). The greenhouse effect takes place.

Light that is neither reflected, (usually by clouds or polar ice) nor absorbed by the atmosphere, is absorbed by the ground, ocean or vegetation. The greenhouse effect is caused by absorption of energy that is reradiated by the land and ocean, at long infrared wavelengths.
