How does Earths magnetic field benefit humans?
Earth's magnet field shields humans from dangerous radiation form the sun and protects the earth's atmosphere form the solar wind. Without the magnetic field, there would be no human life on earth.
Which radiation is most common on earth?
Solar radiation is the most common type of radiation on earth. The earth also emits thermal radiation from its crust as a result of decaying of uranium.
Why does earth receive a different amount of radiation?
If you mean radiation as in sunlight, then the axis tilting from season to season would probably explain that.
How would earth be different without the atmosphere here?
Without an atmosphere, Earth would be a barren and inhospitable place. The atmosphere provides several vital functions such as filtering harmful solar radiation, regulating temperature, and providing the necessary gases for plants and animals to survive. Additionally, the absence of an atmosphere would mean no air pressure, making it impossible for liquid water to exist on the surface.
Where does the earth emits radiation with greatest intensity at?
The Earth emits infrared radiation at greatest intensity
What is the function of the earth's atmosphere?
the earth's atmosphere keeps out most harmful rays of the sun and most radiation. Without it, we would die.
Why is the upper atmosphere so important?
The Ionosphere absorbs radiation from space, without it there could be no life on Earth since the radiation would destroy DNA.
The earth without atmhophere?
The Earth without atmosphere would alternate between boiling and freezing (day and night). It would be bombarded with dangerous levels of UV radiation. Meteorites would rain down from the sky without burning up on a daily basis.
What radiation from the sun is useful?
Light, Heat and Ultraviolet Radiation. Without the Sun's light we will probably see nothing but artificial lightning and the stars. Without heat the earth will be a few degrees above absolute zero and life on earth would be wiped out. Tiny amounts of Ultraviolet Radiation is essential for our bodies to make Vitamin D.
What technology do you have to protect the earth from the sun?
This "severe burning sunlight" is ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, and protects Earth from this radiation. Without it, life on earth would not exist as we know it today.
How harm is radiation?
Not al radiation is harmful. There would be no life on earth if the radiation, which we call sunlight, did not exist.
Why is radiation reaching the earth a problem?
If all the radiation from space reached Earth we would all die in a matter of minuets
How is radiation used?
It brings heat and light from the sun to the earth. No radiation and the earth would be a dark and icy place with no life forms.
What is the thermosphere's job in the atmosphere and what would happen if there was no thermosphere?
Thermosphere shields us from radiation that the sun emits. That is its main job. It serves as a protective shield against the x-ray and UV radiation being emitted by the sun and keeps earth's temperature in which living things can survive. Without it, the earth will be destroyed by radiation heat.
How would a decrease of ozone in the stratosphere affect the radiation received at earth surface?
the radiation received at th earth's surface would increase since the ozone layer acts as a powerful and natural barrier against harmful radiation.
Are humans and life forms able to survive without solar radiation?
Humans do not need to expose themselves to solar radiation directly to survive. However, if there were no solar radiation at all, temperatures on Earth would quickly drop below freezing, and plants would not be able to grow. Humans would not live long under such conditions.
What would happen if the earth didn't have a magnetosphere?
We would die by the solar radiation
