Question

what is the distinction between sulfate aerosols and black carbon? Sulfate aerosols cool the atmosphere unlike black carbon, which produces a warming effect. Sulfate aerosols are concentrated around cities unlike black carbon, which settles in the Arctic. Sulfate aerosols are caused by human activity and industrialization unlike black carbon, which is natural in origin. Sulfate aerosols produce significant environmental effects unlike black carbon, which has minimal consequences.

Answer 1

Normally, Sun provides the energy that drives Earth’s climate and energy that reaches top of the atmosphere for finding the surface in absolute manner.

Aerosols and clouds seeded by them also reflects the quarter of the Sun’s energy back to space. It is one of the main reason for the distinction between sulfate aerosols and black carbon.
