Earth's energy budget is a metaphor for the delicate equilibrium between energy received from the Sun versus energy radiated back out in to space. Research into precise details of Earth's energy budget is vital for understanding how the planet's climate may be changing, as well as variabilities in solar energy output. Missions like NASA's TSIS will help scientists keep a close watch. NASA's Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor, or TSIS-1, is a mission to measure the sun's energy input to E

😯👉Earth’s energy balance is changing… Scientists have found that the Northern Hemisphere is now soaking up much more solar energy than the Southern Hemisphere. This growing difference could influence weather patterns across the globe. Since 2001, the north has been holding onto about 0.34 watts of extra solar energy per square meter per decade compared to the south. This imbalance is mainly caused by environmental changes that affect how Earth reflects sunlight. As snow and ice melt, darker la
