Which is the first surface that has the potential to come into contact with solar radiation? a. icebergsb. cloudsc. the oceand. land

Option (B)

Explanation:

Clouds are formed at a high elevation in an area. They are the first surface to come in touch with solar radiation as they are located high up in the sky.

As the solar radiations are incident on earth, it interacts with the earth's atmosphere, where some of the energy is radiated back into the outer space and some are absorbed in the atmosphere.

The remaining energy penetrates through the clouds and reaches the surface that includes icebergs, oceans, and land areas. As the clouds are above the mean sea level, so it is the first surface to interact with the solar radiation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
