During the day, the portions of Earth’s surface that receive sunlight absorb energy in the form of heat. During the night, Earth’s surface radiates this energy back into space. What is the main form of radiation released by Earth at night?
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
radiation only
Energy as heat moves from the soup to the spoon.
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
infrared radiation
There must be contact between the two parts.
It can transfer energy through empty space.
conduction
Which of the following processes transfers the sun’s energy between particles as well as through empty space?
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
radiation only
Energy as heat moves from the soup to the spoon.
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
infrared radiation
There must be contact between the two parts.
It can transfer energy through empty space.
conduction
Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is an example of conduction?
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
radiation only
Energy as heat moves from the soup to the spoon.
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
infrared radiation
There must be contact between the two parts.
It can transfer energy through empty space.
conduction
Which of these is not a way in which energy is transferred to Earth from the sun?

infrared radiation
There must be contact between the two parts.
It can transfer energy through empty space.
conduction
The net flow of energy into and out of the Earth system is the referred to as Earth’s energy budget. Which of the following is the main source of the energy in the Earth system?
