Hints for drawing an energy flow-diagram for Earth:
Think about what
you know. If light hits a mirror,
how will its behavior differ from hitting a black wall? Remember
things we learned in other parts of this course, such as all things are
“glowing”, how energy can move (convection, conduction, advection, radiation,
also as energy stored and moved in water vapor), absorption/reflection/reemission
of energy, etc. You can draw
arrows on a diagram such as that shown below to illustrate movements of
energy.
