- The global heat budget is important for understanding Earth's climate, with 52% of the sun's energy reaching the Earth.
- Albedo, the reflection and absorption of light, impacts how much energy is reflected or absorbed by different surfaces.
- Surface heating intensity is influenced by factors such as distance through the atmosphere, area, and albedo, as well as seasonal sunlight variations.
- Atmospheric circulation and ocean currents redistribute energy around the globe, creating different circulation cells and influencing climate patterns.
- Understanding these processes, including albedo, surface heating intensity, and ocean currents, is crucial for comprehending and regulating the Earth's climate.
