Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by ozone in the ozone layer. Low-energy (long wavelength) radiation, including infrared, microwave, and radio waves, is typically deflected by atmospheric particles.

Which two layers of the atmosphere are responsible for the majority of solar radiation absorption?
Stratosphere and Thermosphere
What is the difference between direct and indirect global warming potential?
They are two types of radiation 1. Direct radiation 2.Diffused radiation The solar radiation reaching the surface of atmosphere of earth is known as extra terrestrial radiation. In which some part of radiation directly enters the earth atmosphere and some part enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases , aerosols etc., The radiation which directly enters the earth atmosphere is known as "Direct radiation" The radiation which enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases, aerosols is known as diffused radiation. In materiology the sum of both Direct radiation and Diffused radiation is called total 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.
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 two gasses have been added to Earth's atmosphere in large amounts and are believed to have increased global warming by absorbing infrared radiation?
methane and carbon dioxide
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What are the two planets with no atmosphere?
Only Mercury has no atmosphere, because of the solar radiation from the sun is so strong where it is.
What two features of earth protect us from the sun's radiation?
strong magnetic field deflects charged particle radiation around the earthozone layer absorbs much of the ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation as it enters the atmosphere
Name two things the earth atmosphere helps keep out?
Two things the earth atmosphere keeps out are: Harmful radiation and Space debris
Which two layers of the atmosphere are responsible for the majority of solar radiation absorption?
Stratosphere and Thermosphere
Which two layers of the atmosphere are responsible for the majority of the solar radiation absorption?
Stratosphere and Thermosphere
Which two forms of electromagnetic radiation have the shortest wavelenghts?
Gamma and Cosmic Rays
Two forms of electromagnetic radiation are?
visible light and x-rays duuh
What are the two main types of light?
Light (electromagnetic radiation) forms a continuous spectrum there are no two main types.

Radiation can come from the sun and where else?
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-rays.
WHAT ARE two forms of electromagnetic E-M radiation that experience the least atmospheric opacity?
Gamma radiation and X-rays.
