What to Focus On

  • Earth works as a single connected system.
  • The five spheres are geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
  • A disturbance in one sphere can spread to others.
  • Solar radiation reaches Earth as electromagnetic waves.
  • EM waves travel through vacuum; sound waves need a medium.
  • The solar constant is about 1.4 kW/m² at the top of the atmosphere.
  • Albedo is the fraction of sunlight reflected by a surface.
  • Snow and ice have high albedo.
  • Dark surfaces absorb more heat than light surfaces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The solar constant is the same as the insolation reaching the Earth’s surface.

High albedo surfaces absorb more heat than low albedo surfaces.

The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide.
