What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.
What is the greenhouse gas that absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation?
No greenhouse gas absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation. All the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, CFCs etc) absorb the outgoing longwave infrared radiation from the warmed surface of the earth.
Why do the coldest temperatures occur over large land masses far north?
Because land masses emit radiation causing the land to cool. Land cools quicker than water. The farther north you go toward the poles the less direct sun radiation you receive therefore the heat for the sun is less intense. the combination of earth emitting radiation and less intense solar radiation causes the higher latitudes to be colder.
What process absorb water from the soil?
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 materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
What best states how oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently?
There are many reasons why oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently. Land is usually darker than water so it absorbs more energy. The ocean is more reflective, and therefore uses less energy to absorb the energy.
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.
How does heat of the sun affects the land?
The breeze that blows from the land towards the sea after sunset is called land breeze.The land cools more quickly than the ocean cooling the air above it.The warmer air above the water continues to rise, and cooler air from over the land replaces it, creating a breeze.
What is the greenhouse gas that absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation?
No greenhouse gas absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation. All the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, CFCs etc) absorb the outgoing longwave infrared radiation from the warmed surface of the earth.
How can you use the word absorb in a sentence?
you can absorb the water by putting it in the sun
How does the sun absorb water?
The sun does not absorb water. It is a large fiery ball located where there IS no water, and so hot that water would turn to gas. The sun's heat causes water on Earth to evaporate, but it is not absorbed by the sun- it is absorbed by air.
Why do the coldest temperatures occur over large land masses far north?
Because land masses emit radiation causing the land to cool. Land cools quicker than water. The farther north you go toward the poles the less direct sun radiation you receive therefore the heat for the sun is less intense. the combination of earth emitting radiation and less intense solar radiation causes the higher latitudes to be colder.
What is a gas composed of molecules that absorb and radiate infrared radiation from the sun?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What process absorb water from the soil?
the sun
