35、he Sun is the major source of evaporation （蒸发 ） of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms （ 生物 ） on the Earth.Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the E

36、arth 'susrface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth 'ssurface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for t

These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they a

38、llow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you've probably noticed how bright snow i
