How do ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation

Answers

Answer:

Ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation by reflecting 4 percent of solar radiation that reaches the surface. the state of water and the sun angle are vital in determining the amount of reflection that take place. at low sun angle and at times when the surface is ice, more reflection occurs.Jul 19

The presence of ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation by reflection.

Explanation:

Ice and water on the ground affect incoming solar radiation by reflecting 4 percent of solar radiation that reaches the surface.
When the sun angle is high and water is liquid notice, there is less reflection that takes place.
About 23 percent of incoming solar energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapor, dust and ozone.
Then the 48 percent passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface.
About 23% of incoming energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by atmospheric gases, dust, and other particles.
Snow has an even higher albedo than sea ice and so thick sea ice covered with snow reflects as much as 90 percent of the incoming solar radiation.
The 35% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back to space.
