Infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up most of the energy Earth receives from the sun?
false
What region in the stratosphere protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun?
Ozone protects us. It is present as the ozone layer.
What atmospheric area is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation?
The ozone layer high above the Earth blocks most of the ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the Sun. This radiation is generally harmful to living things.
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
Does the sun or earth emit light with higher energy?
Only the sun emits radiation in the wavelengths of visible light, which is considerably higher energy than infrared emitted by Earth.
What is the energy from the sun that is received by the earth known as?
radiation, ultraviolet, infared
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
Infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up most of the energy Earth receives from the sun?
false
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
What region in the stratosphere protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun?
Ozone protects us. It is present as the ozone layer.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Definiton of solar energy?
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the Sun; but especially that part of this energy that is converted into thermal or electrical energy on Earth
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
What atmospheric area is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation?
The ozone layer high above the Earth blocks most of the ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the Sun. This radiation is generally harmful to living things.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
Does the sun or earth emit light with higher energy?
Only the sun emits radiation in the wavelengths of visible light, which is considerably higher energy than infrared emitted by Earth.
