We can also think about Earth's energy in terms of a budget. Just like a family
budget or a government budget, in any particular time period, a certain amount
comes in and a certain amount goes out. A family or a company or a government
can borrow money so they can send out more than they take in. Earth is
different. Earth has a balanced energy budget.
As this web site develops, this section will include an experiment that you
can do to model Earth's energy budget. If you have not already done so,
