This is because of black carbon’s enhanced ability to absorb visible light; it actually absorbs nearly a million times more energy per unit mass than CO 2. When it settles on plants, black carbon negatively affects plant productivity and health; when black carbon settles on snow- and ice-covered surfaces, it significantly accelerates melting.

It also incorporates both a warm and a cool period during the oscillation - both of which impact upper atmospheric winds (10). The sun receives a constant stream of energy produced by nuclear processes that generate an immense amount of heat, light, and radiation. At the center of our solar system is a star that we call “The Sun”.
