Amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface varies over decades, researchers report

Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The sun may rise every morning, but the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface can substantially vary over decades. Stages of “dimming” and “brightening” correspond with increased air pollution and implementation of clean energy solutions, respectively.
