Why can gamma rays from objects in space not be detected on Earth's surface?
the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation or reflects it i cant remember which i think it is a combination of both
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
yes the earths surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere GOOD LUCK :)
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
Is it true when heated Earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation?
Yes, of course. Basically, all the energy (or almost all of it) that the Earth absorbs from the Sun must be radiated back into space at some moment.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.

What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What part of the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation that causes skin cancer?
green house effect
