Question 68 pts
which of the following statements regarding earth’s annual energy balance are true (choose all that apply):
a each year, the earth and atmosphere combined receive the same amount of energy from the sun that they lose to space.
b earth’s overall average equilibrium temperature changes only slightly from one year to the next.
c over half of the incoming solar energy received at the top of the atmosphere is absorbed at the surface
d winds and ocean currents play a vital role in transferring excess energy from equatorial regions to polar regions

A. The total amount of energy received by the earth is sent back as ame amount by losing it to space.

Explanation:

Earth only receives a fraction of sunlight in the form of electromagnetic radiation. As 100 % energy comes from sun of which 50 % is absorbed by the earth features, land sea, and oceans.  20% is absorbed by the clouds and the atmosphere, and 30% is reflected by clouds making earth albedo of 35 %. This occurs 24 hr a day and is carried out in long wave terrestrial radiation. As compared to short term solar radiation.

the answer is a i had that before
