There is a balance of heat coming into and going out of earth. this is known as the?

Earth's energy budget states  balance between the energy that the Earth collects from Sun and energy that Earth radiates back into earth orbit after distribution through out the components of Earth's climate system, thereby powering the so-called heat engine of Earth.

Explanation:

Earth's energy budget states  balance between the energy that the Earth collects from Sun and energy that Earth radiates back into earth orbit after distribution through out the components of Earth's climate system, thereby powering the so-called heat engine of Earth.

This particular equilibrium condition is called radiative equilibrium. Around 29% of solar energy reaching the top of atmosphere is transmitted back into space by clouds, dust particles and light surfaces on the ground.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
