Radiation emitted by the sun has a wide range of frequencies from infrared, to visible light, to ultra-violet. It even has small amounts of microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays. All this comes from the intense energy created in the sun's core.
Radiation from the Earth is mostly (or maybe entirely) infrared radiation. This energy is of longer wavelength (lower energy) and comes from the heat emitted from the Earth as it is heated by the energy from the sun.
Both the Sun and the Earth radiate in the infrared, the Earth being a re-emitter of energy that was received from the Sun in both infrared and ultraviolet. Most of the Sun's infrared radiation never reaches the Earth's surface, but is absorbed in the atmosphere.
The Sun is about 20 times hotter than the Earth. That means that the average frequency of the radiation from the Sun is higher, and the total amount of power radiated per square meter is much higher.
The sun radiates somewhat more electromagnetic energy than the Earth does.
This is because the sun is bigger, and also because there is no nuclear fusion
going on inside the Earth.
The amount of energy radiated by the Earth is substantially
less than the amount radiated by the sun.
Fortunately.
They are both roughly spherical. They both have layered structures. They both have what may be considered atmospheres, though of very different kinds. They rotate.
Because chemical elements are the same.
No. Heat from the sun gets to the earth by radiation, and there is no medium inbetween the sun and the earth because space is a vacuum.
yes as radiation travels from the sun through a vacuum to earth
when an astronaut go into outer space, they must be careful of the sun's radiation. fun fact: astronauts must be careful of the sun's radiation because when they are on earth, the atmosphere blocks out the majority of the sun's radiation. so, when they leave the earth's atmosphere, they are no longer as protected from the sun's harmful rays. cool, huh?:D
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
radiation
It doesn't. The sun's radiation is produced by the sun and the earth has nothing to do with it.
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
No, heat travels from the sun to earth by radiation.
It gets to the Earth by RADIATION.
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.
Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates.
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
By the sunlight, when the sunlight enter in the earth
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.
0% because the sun is radiation and radiation can not be burnd
It gets to the Earth by RADIATION.
