Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
nitrogen and oxygen atom absorb solar radiation.
Why planet is cold because of a lack of atmosphere?
Mercury has no atmosphere so the temperature change drastically from hot to cold. Venus has thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide fosters greenhouse effect. Even night or day. It is still hot. Earth has variety of temperature zone. We have equator where we receive high dose of solar radiation, temperate zone partly receives solar radiation, polar zone receive a little solar radiation. Mars has thin atmosphere. So it somehow regulates a little of the temperature. Coldness of a Planet is dependent on the solar radiation it received during day/night, plus the atmosphere which regulates the temperature.
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
What solar radiation is the most powerful?
Ultraviolet radiation
Definition of solar radiation?
The types of radiation that are emitted from the Sun.
What causes the temperature in mercury?
It is caused by solar radiation.
How does a black globe thermometer works?
Simply put, a black globe thermometer captures the raw temperature and solar radiation to calculate the "real feel" temperature of someone wearing a clothing or a uniform of some kind.
What determines a temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?
The way the layer interacts with solar radiation.
Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
nitrogen and oxygen atom absorb solar radiation.
What is the word for when the sun's temperature moves from the core to the radiation zone?
radiates solar flare
What could decrease Earth's temperature?
Lower solar input & higher infrared radiation at night could decrease Earth's temperature.
Are solar rays hotter than the rest of the suns atmosphere?
The sun's corona has a temperature of 1,799,540 to 5,399540 Fahrenheit, which is significantly hotter than solar rays - the Sun's solar radiation is said to have a temperature of about 9980 Fahrenheit.
What has the author Henryk Arctowski written?
Henryk Arctowski has written: 'On solar-constant and atmospheric temperature changes' -- subject(s): Solar radiation, Atmospheric temperature 'The bathymetrical conditions of the Antarctic regions'
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
How does solar radiation effect the wind?
In short, solar radiation generates heat which affect pressure differentials. Wind is another name for pressure differentials as the pressures attempt to balance one another in equilibrium. Solar radiation comes mostly in the form of heat, both direct and surface radiation. The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure since heat is a measure of the energy the particles are producing. PV = nRT so as pressure temperature increases, pressure increases.
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
