What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
Is nitrogen a good or bad absorber of incoming solar radiation?
Yes, it absorbs solar radiation in the form of infrared rays rising from the surface of the earth. This heat is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)) and this is causing global warming.
Why does soil absorb more solar radiation than grass?
Darker surfaces like soil absorb more than lighter ones like grass do.
Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation?
Rough,light colored surface
What surfaces have a higher absorption of solar insolation?
Areas of cloudless open seas and areas with dense foliage absorb more solar heat than ice, snow, clouds, or deserts, which all tend to reflect solar radiation.
What material would absorb the most solar radiation?
black steel
What color and texture of a material would absorb the least solar radiation?
white and smooth
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
Does white plastic absorb or transmit solar radiation?
White anything will REFLECT radiation, it will not transmit or absorb.
What materials absorb the most solar radiation?
the sun
The atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
Why does the temperature in the thermosphere steadily rise?
nitrogen and oxygen atom absorb solar radiation.
If clouds absorb only a small amount of solar radiation how is Earth's atmosphere heated?
From the surface. Solar radiation is absorbed by the surface and emitted at a longer wavelength, which is essentially heat.
What three gasses present in Earths atmosphere absorb solar radiation?
Carbon dioxideMethaneNitrous Oxide
Is nitrogen a good or bad absorber of incoming solar radiation?
Yes, it absorbs solar radiation in the form of infrared rays rising from the surface of the earth. This heat is absorbed by the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4)) and this is causing global warming.
A producer makes its own food from raw material and energy from?
from the solar radiation
