Harold Harrington · Answer 1

Answer: The three types of energy transfer that happen in the atmosphere are conduction, convection and radiation.

It is true, black absorbs light of many wavelenghts and white reflects light.

The energy that comes from the sun to the earth is absorbed by the aerosols of the atmosphere or it is scattered.

The processes keeps earth's surface at a temperature warm enough to support life is the greenhouse effect.
