The Greenhouse Effect

Figure 8 shows how light/energy flows through the Earth system for the "greenhouse effect." The numbers listed describe the amount of energy flowing through the system (in units of watts per square meter). A larger number indicates that more energy is flowing through that labeled pathway.

Use Figures 8 and 9 when answering the questions.

What is the total amount of energy emitted and reflected by Earth to space (in watts per square meter)?

QUESTION 35

How is the total amount of energy emitted by Earth to space related to the total amount of energy coming from the Sun?

The energy emitted from Earth to space is less than the energy coming from the Sun.

The energy emitted from Earth to space is the same as the energy coming from the Sun.

The energy emitted from Earth to space is greater than the energy coming from the Sun.

QUESTION 38

Is more energy absorbed by Earth’s surface in the form of light coming from the Sun or light emitted by Earth’s atmosphere?

Light coming from the sun

Light emitted by Earth’s atmosphere

The light coming from the Sun equals the light emitted by Earth’s atmosphere
