- How the Universe, Solar System, and the Earth affects the Energy Budget on the Earth Spheres?
- The universe contributes to the earth's energy budget through the formation of star which is the sun, the source of earth's energy.
- The nuclear fusion in the sun that creates solar energy cannot occur on Earth. The universe's space has a lot of energy, but it cannot be absorbed by the Earth, so it needs the Sun's solar energy for the earth's spheres to function.
- The sun is where the Earth's energy comes from through a short-wave radiation, the absorb sunlight drives photosynthesis fuels evaporation, melts snow and ice and warms the earth system.
- Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere which are the Earth's heat engine are the coupled processes that constantly even out solar heating imbalances.
- Earth's temperature does not rise infinitely because the surface and the atmosphere are simultaneously radiating heat to space. 20% reflected 23% absorbed in the atmosphere and 48% absorbed in at the surface.
