Radiation
What is radiation?
What is all of the energy that Earth receives from the sun travels through space between Earth and the sun as radiation.
What is scattering?
What are clouds, dust, water droplets, and molecules in the atmosphere disrupt the paths of radiation from the sun?
what is the lowest region of the atmosphere where all living organisms live, including us?
What is a hurricane?
what is a serve storm that develops over tropical oceans and whose winds of 120 km/h or faster spiral in toward the low-pressure storm center?

What is approximately 300,000 km/s?
What is reflection?
what is The amount of energy that is absorbed or reflected depends on characteristics such as color, texture, composition, volume, mass, transparency, state of matter, and specific heat of the material on which the solar radiation falls?

What is an air mass?
What is a large body of air throughout which temperature and moisture content are similar?
What is fog?
what is the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air?
