stratosphere



Give us your best guesses and we can help where you guess wrong. We cannot help you cheat, just because you can cut and paste from an online test. You promised not to do this, when you agreed to ask questions here.

Answer 4

All I'm going to say is the answer to 12.12 is probably meant to be "it is reflected", but the reality is that it is absorbed and reradiated by clouds. So technically "absorbed" is a more accurate answer...
