What is The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed y certain heat absorbing gases is called what?
the green house effect
Without the ocean would the sky be blue?
Yes; the sky's color is not a reflection of the ocean. It is due to certain wavelengths of the sun's radiation being scattered as it passes through the atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere is being destroyed by certain chemicals?
The ozone layer present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere is being destroyed by certain chemicals. These chemicals are CFCs.
Water and certain vitamins are absorbed here from the undigested food?
large intestine!
Why do space telescopes collect more kinds of data then telescopes on earth?
Earth's atmosphere partially blocks or absorbs certain wavelengths of radiation, e.g. UV, gamma rays, X-rays, before they can reach Earth's surface. All these wavelengths contain useful information and a telescope outside (beyond) the atmosphere can make use of them too.
What is the heating lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases is called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is the heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called?
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the two most important heat absorbing gases in the lower atmosphere.
What is The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed y certain heat absorbing gases is called what?
the green house effect
How does the earth's atmosphere protect living organism from certain types of electromagnetic radiation?
be far from those radiation
How much solar energy is absorbed and how much is reflected from the earth's surface?
At the earth's surface about 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed, and 4% is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
Absorption of infrared radiation in the skin?
Infrared radiation penetrates through the tissue and is also absorbed by different molecules. It is strongly absorbed by certain pigments and blood which determine the skin color, the multi-colored irises and the white of our eyes.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radition absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases is called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is mean by thermoluminescence?
According to Wikipedia: "Thermoluminescence is a form of luminescence that is exhibited by certain crystalline materials, such as some minerals, when previously absorbed energy from electromagnetic radiation or other ionizing radiation is re-emitted as light upon heating of the material." You can read more about this phenomenon, below.
Without the ocean would the sky be blue?
Yes; the sky's color is not a reflection of the ocean. It is due to certain wavelengths of the sun's radiation being scattered as it passes through the atmosphere.
What type of radiation does the earth emit?
Its the thermal energy that the Earth emits. Radiation is essentially another word for heat. There is also solar radiation which is simply the heat from the sun. The Earth actually emits far less thermal energy than what is taken in from by the sun and absorbed into the atmosphere. On the other hand there are planets like Jupiter whose surface temperature is mostly comprised of heat from thermal energy instead of solar radiation.
Is radiation can cure dertain diseases?
Radiation therapy is typically used to treat certain types of skin conditions; as well as certain types of cancer.
