    Here are the key points from the lesson: - Solar radiation from the sun warms the earth's surface. Dark surfaces absorb more radiation than light surfaces. - The absorbed solar energy warms the land, oceans, and atmosphere by conduction and convection. - Albedo measures the reflectivity of a surface. Light surfaces have high albedo and reflect more solar radiation. Dark surfaces have low albedo and absorb more solar radiation. - During the day, land heats up faster than water as land has lower specific heat. At night, land cools down faster than water. - Cities with buildings and streets made of materials with lower albedo absorb more heat and cause urban heat

    Water on earth

    • When sand and water were placed


    under the lamp, the final temperature
    of the sand was higher than water
    indicates that sand absorb energy
    faster than water.
    • When sand and water were removed
    form the lamp, the final temperature of
    the sand was less than water. This
    indicates sand cools at a faster rate

    It is observed that the geosphere heat up


    and cooldown faster than the hydrosphere.
    So the temperature of atmosphere changes

    hydrosphere

    Air above the sand absorb and release thermal energy at a faster rate 26

    • Dark surfaces has low albedo 35
    Question time

    Answer : The snow-peaked mountain


    tops have a high albedo compared to
    the darker mountain rocks. This is
    because lighter coloured objects are
    more reflective than darker coloured
    objects.

    Lesson Review
    Lesson Review

    Answer : Earth’s surface is warmed by the Sun through radiation. During the
    day, air molecules above land and water are heated by conduction. This
    process of conduction can continue even after sunset.

    Answer : Streets and buildings in cities have lower albedo than grass and
    water in rural areas. This means that areas with lower albedo heat up
    faster and heat the air by conduction. Thus, rural areas are comparatively
    cooler than urban areas.
