Radiation describes any process by which energy emitted by one body travels through a medium or through space, to be absorbed by another body.
Radiation is often associated with ionizing radiation (e.g., as occurring in nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, and radioactive substances). However it also refers to electromagnetic radiation (i.e., radio waves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays). Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between that of radio waves and infrared light.
I will place a link below to show this.

Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
Are microwaves made out of rocks?
NO: Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation occupying the spectrum between radio and infra-red.
Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation does the very large array collect?
microwaves
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
Can water absorb microwaves?
Yes. That's why microwaves can boil water.
How is radiation used in your lives?
You use radiation in microwaves
What is a simple definition of microwave radiation?
microwave radiation is radiation that comes from microwaves
Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?
"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.
What materials absorb microwaves completely?
metal mesh
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
What is the maximum distance for microwaves?
There isn't one. Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation and have a theoretically unlimited range.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
Do newer microwaves omit less radiation?
Yes.
Are microwaves made out of rocks?
NO: Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation occupying the spectrum between radio and infra-red.
Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.
