What type of energy enters the Earth's atmosphere from the sun?
The energy Earth receives from the Sun is often called solar energy. The rate at which this energy arrives at Earth is about 174 petawatts ( 1 petawatt = 1,000 trillion watts) at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space. The sun energy at the Earth's surface is mostly in the visible and near-infrared ranges with a small amount in the near-ultraviolet.
What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
Why is it dangerous to look into the sun?
There is a huge amount of infrared and ultraviolet energy in the Sun's rays. You may not be able to see them, but they will still focus close enough to your eyes' retinas to fry them, starting at the center and work out to the edges. So, for the rest of your life, you will see only a white or black spot as you try to look at something. This is similar to the disease, Macular Degeneration.
How does the energy from the sun travel to the earth?
Most of the energy generated by the Sun travels to Earth as Electromagnetic Radiation. A very tiny amount of energy of the Sun is given off as particles, mostly electrons and protons, flying off into space.Electromagnetic energy is, of course, light. The light energy from the Sun includes the visible spectrum we can see and much more in the infrared part of the spectrum that we can not see and a little in the ultraviolet as well. It all travels at the speed of light from the Sun outwards and a tiny fraction of the Sun's energy strikes the Earth and is absorbed. As a result, the electromagnetic energy is converted to thermal (heat) energy and keeps Earth warm.

What has greater energy between ultraviolet and infrared?
ultraviolet has more energy.
Does an infrared have have more or less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
Infrared waves have far less energy than ultraviolet, being much further down the spectrum.
Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?
Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.
Which radiation energy from the sun can damage an organism?
Microwaves <><><><><> Ultraviolet, infrared, gamma.
What type of electromagnetic wave has highest energy a ultraviolet wave or an infrared wave?
Infrared radiation has a lower frequency than optical light as it is below the red end of the spectrum. "Infra" means below, making "infrared" meaning "below red. On the other hand, ultraviolet radiation has a higher frequency than optical light as it is above the violet end of the spectrum. "Ultra" means "above or greater", making ultraviolet meaning "above violet". The answer to your question would be: ultraviolet radiation has more electromagnetic energy than infrared radiation.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What two lights can't we see?
Ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths are invisible to the naked (human) eye. cw: Yes, in general, you can't see light with higher energy than violet or lower than red. On the low end, that energy level starts with infrared. On the high side, that energy level starts with ultraviolet. Between is the visible light spectrum.
