Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Solar Radiation Pathways Insolation can be direct or diffuse. Direct radiation is solar radiation received by the Earth’s surface and/or atmosphere that has not been altered by atmospheric scattering. Diffused radiation is solar radiation that has been modified by scattering.
Detailed explanation-2: -As Wein’s law explains, the sun’s high temperature emits solar radiation of mostly shorter wavelengths. This incoming solar radiation may be scattered, reflected, or absorbed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The proportion of incoming solar radiation that is reflected by the Earth is known as its albedo.
