What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by greenhouse effect?

terestrial


What causes sunspots to be colder than the surrounding areas?

Sunspots are areas on the surface of the sun where strong magnetic fields keep charged particles trapped. Matter on the surface convects (gets heated, rises to the surface, cools, and sinks down only to be reheated and continue the cycle) but not the matter trapped in these magnetic fields. It can't sink back down once it cools off, which is why it looks black from Earth. These spots are still 3000 degrees kelvin (essentially Celsius) which is really hot but colder than the surrounding 5800 kelvin surface.

Why does the lining of the trachea contain mucus-secreting cells and cells with cilia?
