Some areas of the Earth receive more solar radiation than others. Which of the following results from the Sun's uneven heating of the Earth?

climate


Do clouds reflect sun's radiation?

Some of it but not all. They can also retain some types of radiation, especially thermal radiation.


How do the components of the solar system interact?

Firstly, the distances in the solar system are so great that nearly all the interactions are between the Sun and the other bodies. These include gravitational attraction, absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun by other bodies, and interaction of those bodies with the solar wind. Jupiter gives off some radiation, so that should interact with other bodies, and the Earth and Moon reflect light to each other, which should apply to other planets and moons.


What is The difference in a solar blanket and a solar cover?

They are the same thing basically. Pool Cover, Solar Cover, solar Blanket are all used interchangeably. It's basically some material, usually a plastic bubble mesh or vinyl covering that goes over the pool. The exception to this is Winter Cover which generally is heavier and designed to protect your pool during long winter months.


How does the greenhouse effect influence the amount of incoming solar radiation?

Some radiation may be blocked or filtered or scattered by clouds, but most of it will pass right through clouds. To answer this question, it's best to know that clouds consist of dust particles, water molecules and a number of gas molecules. This collection of matter is much more condensed than usual gases and that is why they stand out in the sky. So, light and radiation from the sun comes in waves. These waves travel extreme distances to reach the Earth, but the majority of them won't reach the Earth because they reflect and refract through other substances. The matter in clouds has the same effect, they reflect and scatter the radiation from the sun. So, the answer to the question, "Do clouds block the sun's radiation?" would be yes.

What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?

Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.


What happens as solar radiation travels towards earth?

Some is absorbed by molecules in the atmosphere (such as ultraviolet absorption by ozone), some is absorbed on the surface, and some is reflected by clouds or the surface back into space. The surface will re-radiate much of the absorbed solar radiation as infrared (thermal) radiation, and some of this is then absorbed by atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.


Why do people not die from solar radiation?

Part of the reason is that we evolved to survive it.Another part of the reason is that the atmosphere absorbs some of the most harmful parts of the solar radiation.


Why is it important to protect yourself against UV radiation?

What do the van Allen belts do?

solar radiation. as the solar wind hits the earth's magnetic fields, it is mostly diverted away from the earth. but some radiation gets caught in the field, and those are the van Allen radiation belts. Aurora borealis


What are some scientific names?

Gravitation, Magnetism, Evaporation, Diffusion, Solar radiation etc.


What determines the amount of solar energy absorbed by the earth?

Every location on Earth receives sunlight at least part of the year. The amount of solar radiation that reaches any one "spot" on the Earth's surface varies according to these factors:Geographic locationTime of daySeasonLocal landscapeLocal weather.Diffuse and Direct Solar RadiationAs sunlight passes through the atmosphere, some of it is absorbed, scattered, and reflected by the following: Air moleculesWater vaporCloudsDustPollutantsForest firesVolcanoes.This is called diffuse solar radiation. The solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface without being diffused is called direct beam solar radiation. The sum of the diffuse and direct solar radiation is called global solar radiation. Atmospheric conditions can reduce direct beam radiation by 10% on clear, dry days and by 100% during thick, cloudy days.

What are some scientific phenomenon names?

Aurora borealis - a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in polar regions. Black hole - a region in spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Superconductivity - the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance at very low temperatures. Photosynthesis - the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.


Do solar trains run all over the world?

No. There are no solar trains in the world. There are electric trains, some of which run on renewable energy, but there are no solar trains, that is, trains with solar panels that capture and use solar radiation on the run.


How do you protect from electromagnetic waves?

Based on most currently available scientific information, there is no need to protect yourself from electromagnetic waves that you would come across in everyday life. The levels of this radiation is so low as to be harmless to a human. If you were to be in some situation where you were likely to be exposed to dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation. Some kind of shielding on the order of a faraday cage would most likely be your best bet.
