What color and texture of a material would absorb the least solar radiation?
white and smooth
What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
How is solar energy transferred?
Solar energy is radiation that comes from the sun. It can generate electricity and produce heat. They convert solar radiation into electricity.
What type of radiation is felt as heat?
solar radiation from the sun
For a solar collector to collect solar radiation what materials can be used?
Simple materials can be used like black plastic or metal pipe. You want materials that will absorb heat and transmit that heat to the liquid.
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
The atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
What material would absorb the most solar radiation?
black steel
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
nitrogen and oxygen atom absorb solar radiation.
What color and texture of a material would absorb the least solar radiation?
white and smooth
If clouds absorb only a small amount of solar radiation how is Earth's atmosphere heated?
From the surface. Solar radiation is absorbed by the surface and emitted at a longer wavelength, which is essentially heat.
What three gasses present in Earths atmosphere absorb solar radiation?
Carbon dioxideMethaneNitrous Oxide
Is nitrogen a good or bad absorber of incoming solar radiation?
Yes, it absorbs solar radiation in the form of infrared rays rising from the surface of the earth. This heat is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)) and this is causing global warming.
Why does soil absorb more solar radiation than grass?
Darker surfaces like soil absorb more than lighter ones like grass do.
