What is coherent radiation in spectrometric methods?
There are two types of coherence time and space coherence. Time coherence means that the wave phase stays constant in time. Space coherence is when the wave phase is a constant when light travels in space. Both are really important and can be found in lasers and other sources of electromagnetic radiation.
Why is it cold at the poles?
The answer to this question involves the angle at which solar radiation is intercepted by the earth's atmosphere. The rule is that if solar radiation is incident perpendicular to the atmosphere the solar radiation that is incident on the earth's surface will be greatest. Incoming solar radiation at the poles comes in at a sharper angle and is spread over a greater surface area of atmosphere than at the equator. In this way, the poles have more of an atmospheric filter and experience less radiation per area time and hence have lower average temperatures.
How is time calculated on other planets?
Time is a universal thing, it is always there it is always progressing at the same rate never moving backwards, time may be defined as anything. Before 1960 it was defined as a 'solar day', and a second was defined to be (1/60)*(1/60)*(1/24) of a solar day, then in 1967 we changed to the atomic clock which measures vibrations of cesium atoms, now one second is defined to be : 9192631770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.like i said time may be defined by anything
Why would human astronauts on a trip to mars need to be concerned about solar wind?
A trip to Mars takes months and involves crossing several million miles of space. This is enough time for the solar widn to affect the trajectory of a space craft.
How long does it take to build a solar system?
Because of shrinking atoms, the year span has gradually been lowering, due to radiation activity. Therefore, the length of time in which a solar system was fully created was 3.27 million years. This has been verifyed by scientists of late.
What is cheapest form of radiation?
The cheapest form of radiation is - solar. If you spend any time outside you will get solar radiation but there is no monney to pay. Like anything enjoy in moderation.
What is insolators?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. It is an abbreviation for "incoming solar radiation."the amount of sunlight that reaches a planet.
Why there are variations of solar energy in space and time?
because your fat

Why does a plant tilt its leaves upwards at noon time?
Plants are heliotropic, that is they have the ability to move in order to maximize the amount of solar radiation that they absorb - think of it as moving solar panels.

What has the lowest insolation?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. Polar regions have the lowest insolation.
How does space shuttles track time in space?
The same way you track time on earth and everywhere else, by counting periods in the radiation emitted due to hyperfine transitions in Caesium-133.
What has the author Bill Stonebarger written?
Bill Stonebarger has written: 'Gene' 'Radiation (Time, space and spirit : keys to scientific literacy)' 'Ecosystems (Time, space and spirit)' 'Living in space (Time, space and spirit : keys to scientific literacy)' 'Toxic wastes (Time, space and spirit : keys to scientific literacy)' 'Energy and society (Time, space and spirit : keys to scientific literacy)'
How has solar energy changed over time?
Solar cells have become more efficient. This allows for greater conversion of sunlight into usable electricity in a smaller space.
How can distance speed time and motion measured in space?
The speed of something orbiting another body can be calculated from the mean altitude of the orbit and the mean radius and the mass of the body. The distance to an interplanetary probe can be calculated from the time elapsed from the sending of a communication signal to the probe until receipt of acknowledgement of the signal from the probe. The speed of the probe can be calculated by doing that twice. The rate at which time passes for an object in space can be calculated from the speed of the object.
Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
