What makes up most of earth's energy?
Solar radiation makes up most of earth's energy.
What three words make up insolation?
Incoming Solar Radiation
What Is terrestrial radiation and How does it differ from solar radiation?
They are essentially the same thing. Solar radiation from the sun is made up of two components: (1) direct solar raidation; and (2) diffuse solar radiation. Global radiation refers to the sum of direct and diffuse fractions.
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.
What is the conclusion of the layers of the atmosphere?
~In conclusion the atmosphere is mainly made up of nitrogen, oxygen and some trace gases and aerosols that govern the climate system, to regulate the energy balance between the incident solar radiation and terrestrial radiation that is emitted. Most of the atmosphere is below 10 km. In the troposphere, where the Earth's climate operates and where the greenhouse effect operates in a more visible manner. Above it are layers which are defined by their temperatures
What makes up most of earth's energy?
Solar radiation makes up most of earth's energy.
What makes up radiant energy?
In most contexts radiant energy would be assumed to be made up of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. The force carrier for electromagnetic radiation is a massless fundamental particle, the photon.
What three words make up insolation?
Incoming Solar Radiation
What is the name given to elementary particles originating in the sun and other stars that continuously rain down on the earth?
Stars are constantly emitting solar radiation, or CMEs (coronal mass ejections). Earth is a target to solar radiation, but fortunately most radiation is either deflected Earth's magnetic field or ozone layer protecting us from it. Solar radiation is dangerous and lethal in outer space if exposed to it. Earth's magnetic field directs solar radiation to the poles and when it reacts with the atmosphere it lights up and creates the northern lights.
How does solar radiation affect water uptake in plants?
Solar radiation in plants inhance the rate of transpiration. To cope up with the water deficiency in plants roots are desired to uptake more water.
What is the main type of electromagnetic radiation that makes up the solar radiation that reachs earth?
Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field

Why does churchill get less solar radiation than Brandon over one year?
cuz its up north
What happens to the ice when a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation?
When a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation, the ice will be heated up and given off as gas
What is energy from the sun known as?
solar The sun releases electromagnetic energy in the entire EM spectrum from radio waves up to Gamma radiation
