What happens to incoming solar radiation after it is reflected off the surface of the earth?
The wavelength is longer. Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared radiation (heat).
Do volcanoes give off radiation?
Yes, at least heat and light.
Which radiation is most common on earth?
Solar radiation is the most common type of radiation on earth. The earth also emits thermal radiation from its crust as a result of decaying of uranium.
Warm objects give off?
Electromagnetic radiation, mostly in the form of infrared (which humans feels as heat).
Where does the earth emits radiation with greatest intensity at?
The Earth emits infrared radiation at greatest intensity
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
What are three of the natural sources that give off radiation?
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
What is the background radiation?
Background radiation - is the 'natural' radiation of the Earth. There are radioactive ores naturally present in the ground that give off small amounts of radiation. This is detectable by instruments, but is of no consequence to humans or animals.
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?

Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
Does my I watch have radiation?

What do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal radiation.
Do granite counter tops give off radiation?
Granite does not give off radiation, though it may contain trace amounts of material which does. Any amount of radiation it releases should be insignificant (i.e. background radiation).
Do electrical ovens give off radiation?
Yes - infrared radiation. If you're asking about nuclear radiation, then no.
Radiation given off by radioctive waste does nit?
Radiation does give off waste. Radioactive waste does not give off waste. The waste is given in one because atom.
Does a gps give off radiation?
No. GPS receivers do not transmit or radiate anything. They just listen to radio wave radiation from the constellation of GPS satellites that orbit about 11,000 miles above the Earth.
