### Reflected Solar Radiation Quiz **Question:** About ______ % of incoming solar radiation (insolation) is reflected immediately back into space. **Options:** - ⃝ 100 - ⃝ 64 - ⃝ 69 - ⊙ 31 **Explanation:** The image shows a multiple-choice question designed to test knowledge about the percentage of incoming solar radiation that is reflected back into space. The given options are 100, 64, 69, and 31 percent, with 31 percent being indicated as the correct answer. **Graphical Representation:** No graphs or diagrams are included in this image. The context is derived entirely from the text-based quiz. --- **Key Concepts:** - **Solar Radiation (Insolation):** This refers to the energy from the sun that reaches the Earth's atmosphere and surface. - **Reflection of Solar Radiation:** A certain percentage of this incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and the Earth’s surface (especially light-colored surfaces like ice and snow). **Further Reading:** - For more detailed information on how solar radiation interacts with the Earth's atmosphere and surface, and the factors affecting the reflection percentage, refer to the chapter on Earth's Energy Balance in your climatology textbook.
