Variation in the Net Heat Budget at the Earth’s Surface A heat budget is a perfect balance between incoming heat absorbed by the earth and…

Heat budget of the Planet Earth A heat budget is a perfect balance between incoming heat absorbed by the earth and outgoing heat escaping it…

Temperature at the Earth’s Surface The interaction of insolation with the atmosphere and the earth’s surface creates heat which is measured in terms of temperature.…

Terrestrial Radiation The insolation received by the earth is in short wave’s forms and heats up its surface. The earth after being heated itself becomes…

Heating and Cooling of Atmosphere There are dissimilar ways of heating and cooling of the atmosphere. The earth after being heated by insolation transmits the…

Variability of Solar Radiation or Insolation at the Surface of the Earth The earth’s surface receives most of its energy in short wavelengths. The energy…

Passage of Solar Radiation through the Atmosphere The atmosphere is largely transparent to shortwave solar radiation. The incoming solar radiation passes through the atmosphere before…

Solar Radiation The earth’s surface receives most of its energy in short wavelengths. The energy received by the earth is known as incoming solar radiation…

Structure of the Atmosphere The atmosphere consists of different layers with varying density and temperature. Density is highest near the surface of the earth and…

Dust Particles: Composition of Atmosphere The atmosphere has a sufficient capacity to keep small solid particles, which may originate from different sources and include sea…
