Which of the following best describes the solar radiation absorbed by and radiated from earth?
a.
Most incoming solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere.
b.
Only a small fraction of energy radiating from Earth is from the atmosphere.
c.
The Earth’s surface is responsible for a small fraction of heat radiation to space.
d.
Earth’s surface absorbs little of the energy that strikes as solar radiation.

The intensity of the solar radiation at the top of earth's atmosphere is 1340W/m^2. Assuming 60% of the incoming solar energy reaches Earth's surface and assuming you absorb 50% of the incident energy, assuming a surface area of exposure when sunbathing of 0.5m^2, find the amount of solar energy you absorb in a 60 minute sunbath

Suppose the average intensity of the solar radiation that strikes normally on a surface just outside Earth's atmosphere is 1.9 kW/m2. (It is actually 1.4 kW/m2.) (a) What would be the radiation pressure pr exerted on this surface, assuming complete absorption? (b) For comparison, find the ratio of pr to Earth's sea-level atmospheric pressure, which is 1.0 x 105 Pa
