Every day a certain amount of water evaporates from Earth's oceans, lakes, and land surface and forms water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere. Every day a certain amount of rain falls back to Earth. Make the reasonable assumption that, on average, the energy absorbed by the evaporation and lifting of the water is equal to the energy released by its condensation and falling back to earth. The evaporation of one mole of water requires approximately 40.6x103 J of heat. An equal amount of heat is released when a mole of water condenses The annual volume of rainfall on Earth is approximately 5.1×105 km3 and the average cloud altitude is 8.3 km above Earth's surface. How much energy, in joules, is required every day to evaporate and lift the water?
