1. What is the main effect that contributes a positive term to the Earth's internal energy? 2. What is the main effect that contributes a negative term to the Earth's internal energy? 3. What is the total percentage of energy that is reflected? 4. The atmosphere is capable of both absorbing and reflecting light. As depicted in this figure, does it cause a net increase or decrease in the Earth's internal energy? 5. What effect would increasing the amount of light reflected have on the Earth's temperature? 6. If there were more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that could absorb heat from the earth, what effect would that have on the Earth's temperature?
