Energy absorbed at ground level is transferred back to the atmosphere and then to space via longwave radiation, convection, and latent heat exchange.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The energy absorbed at the Earth's surface is transferred back to the atmosphere and ultimately to space through various processes such as longwave radiation (infrared radiation), convection, and latent heat exchange (evaporation and condensation). This is known as the Earth's energy budget.
