List down the processes and the amount of incoming and outgoing energy at the Atmosphere itself (the clouds in the picture). Fill your answers in Table. Feel free to add rows if necessary. What have you observed on the difference between incoming and outgoing energy in the Atmosphere? Did it achieve equilibrium that is the incoming energy equals the outgoing energy? If yes, why? If not, why?
