Why does only 51% of the insolation reach the earth surface. I want an appropriate answer with keywords
Dear Student,
Only 51% of the insolation reaches the surface of the Earth because as out of the remaining:
1) 35% of the insolation is directly reflected back to space by the atmosphere
2) 14% is absorbed by the ozone layer.
Regards.
