On appelle «bilan radiatif» la différence entre l'énergie gagnée par la planète, par absorption du rayonnement solaire, et l'énergie perdue (renvoyée vers l'espace), par émission dans l'infrarouge. Le climat est la conséquence de ce bilan [...] Lorsque le bilan radiatif est globalement nul, l'état thermique de la Terre est globalement à peu près équilibré. Par contre, si le bilan radiatif est positif (ou négatif), la Terre se réchauffe (ou se refroidit). 2, record 2, French, - bilan%20radiatif%20nul
