List down the processes and the amount of incoming and outgoing energy at the Top of the Atmosphere (the uppermost portion of the picture). Fill your answers in Table. What have you observed on the difference between incoming and outgoing energy at the top of the Atmosphere? Did it achieve equilibrium that is the incoming energy equals the outgoing energy? If yes, why? If not, why?
