INTRODUCTION
Solar energy powers virtually everything in the Earth and atmosphere system. This energy warms the
air and the Earth’s surfaces, and drives the winds, currents, evaporation, clouds, rain, etc. Essentially, the process
starts when the Sun’s energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation (radiation, in short) enters the atmosphere
