Question

When Earth receives energy from the Sun, ____.

a. some energy is reflected back into space
b. some is absorbed by the atmosphere
c. some is absorbed by land and water on Earth's surface
d. all of the above

Answer 1

d. all of the above

All of the above definitely happens when Earth receives energy from the Sun.

Answer 2

d. all of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The external part of the atmosphere absorbs part of the energy, reflecting the rest. The absorbed part is distributed among the layers of the atmosphere. So, only a small part of the initially absorbed energy by the atomosphere reaches the earth's surface.
