Name______________________ 30% reflected by clouds and dust What is Weather? “Today is will be sunny and warm with increasing cloudiness in the late afternoon.” 10% reflected by the earth The changing condition in the atmosphere (The layer of air that surrounds the earth) is 40% absorbed 20% absorbed called weather. by the earth by atmosphere Weather is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. For example, where the sun’s rays strike the earth at a slant, the earth is heated less than where the sun’s rays strike directly. Also, water and land absorb hear and cool off at different rates. Energy from the sun, called solar energy, causes weather. Look at the picture. What happens to the sun’s energy? 1. Using the information from the picture, complete the circle graph to indicate what happens to the sun’s energy. Use colored pencils. 2. Look at the picture. At which point is the earth’s surface hearted more? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ A B
