Question 1
0.34 / 0.34 pts
The incoming short-wave solar radiation equals the outgoing short-wave terrestrial radiation.
Correct!
The incoming short-wave solar radiation equals the outgoing long-wave terrestrial radiation.
The incoming short-wave solar radiation is less than the outgoing long-wave terrestrial radiation.
This is a brief quiz about the lecture introducing Earth's radiation balance. This lecture provides
important background information for the global warming and ozone lectures, as well as future topics
such as temperature.
What best describes the concept of an Earth in radiation balance?

2/3
The incoming short-wave solar radiation is greater than the outgoing long-wave terrestrial radiation.
This is the best answer.
Question 2
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Albedo is the percent of solar radiation absorbed by a surface; for example fresh snow absorbs 90% of solar
radiation.
Correct!
Albedo is the percent of solar radiation reflected by a surface; for example fresh snow reflects 90% of solar
radiation.
Albedo is the percent of Earth’s radiation that reaches the troposphere.
Albedo is the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth’s surface.
This is the best answer.
Question 3
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Aerosols can reflect incoming solar radiation back to space
Correct!
All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.
Aerosols can act like a ‘blanket’ in trapping outgoing terrestrial radiation
Aerosols can absorb incoming solar radiation
This is the best answer.
Question 4
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Carbon dioxide
Correct!
All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.
Water vapor
What is albedo?
How do aerosols such as dust affect Earth's radiation balance?
What components of the troposphere absorbs (and releases) longwave radiation?

Correct!
Global temperatures will fall.
Global temperatures will rise.
Global temperatures will stay the same.
Global temperatures will fall at first and then begin to rise.
This is the best answer.
Quiz Score: 1.7 out of 1.7
