What effect can excess aerosols have on sunlight in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They can scatter light
Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, including dust, smoke, sulphates and sea salt. When their concentration is high, these particles scatter sunlight in different directions and may also absorb a limited part of it. Scattering reduces direct solar radiation, can create haze and often lowers visibility. Therefore, option A is correct. Aerosols do not completely absorb all sunlight, leave sunlight entirely unchanged, or transform radiation into gravity.
