What happens to solar radiation as it tries to reach the surface of or planet? - Atmosphere is largely transparent to incoming solar radiation; Most visible radiation reaches the surface; About 50% absorbed at Earth's surface; Absorption: energy is converted to heat; Reflection: energy bounces off a surface (albedo: percentage of light reflected); Scattering: dust and gas molecules scatter energy in all directions What is albedo? How can albedo change? - Percentage of diffusely reflected sun...

To be classified as fog what must visibility reduce to correct answers 1000m or less. Between 1-5000m its classed as mist Explain radiation fog correct answers Earth cools at night and loses terrestrial radiation. Air will be cooled to the dew point and fog will form. What are the conditions needed to form radiation fog correct answers Relatively high humidity, light winds (2-8kts), cooling surface. Best found in anticyclone conditions due to it giving long clear nights When will radiat...
