Answer 1

This one is super easy the answer is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Solar energy is burned up in Earth's heated atmosphere.

Explanation:

• The amount of solar energy is constant and this energy is a renewable resource and reached the earth in a fraction of the second and is used to warm up the planet from the surface and hence regulates the weather patterns of the peace of the earth's surface.

• Thus this energy is produced by the fusion and fission of the atomic energy by the sun and continues to do so every day where most of the energy is absorbed that falls on the planet and the most of its users to radiate back into form black body that is controlled by the greenhouse effect.

• Part of this energy reradiated to the surface and some of this by the air but it's not burned and does not destroy the atmosphere.
