Question

Explain the Heat Budget of Earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth's heat-budget or Earth's radiation balance refers to the net flow of energy into Earth in the form of shortwave radiation and the outgoing infrared long-wave radiation into space. ... This balance between incoming and outgoing heat is known as Earth's heat budget.

Answer 2

A heat budget is the perfect balance between incoming heat absorbed by earth and outgoing heat escaping it in the form of radiation. If the balance is disturbed, then earth would get progressively warmer or cooler with each passing year
