What causes the difference between the sun and earth's radiation wavelengths?

Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates.

What causes electromagnetic radiation to change its wavelengths?
Absorption and re-emission.
What causes a cosmological redshift?
A redshift occurs when the wavelengths increase in objects by light or electromagnetic radiation levels in an object. In cosmological redshift also has to do with light; however, instead of an increase in wavelengths, there is an expansion of the universe.
WhAT Wavelengths are most poorly transmitted through the atmosphere?
The atmosphere easily transmits shortwave radiation from the Sun, BUT is a poor transmitter of LONG-WAVE radiation from Earth's surface. This selective transmission causes the Greenhouse effect in the atmosphere.
Difference in a charge between two electrodes in a cell causes a ----between electrodes?
Potential difference.
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

Absorption and re-emission.
What causes the difference in colors emitted by different colors?
different wavelengths from different colours

What causes colour?
Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.Light is made up of radiation of different wavelengths/frequencies; our eyes can perceive some of these differences in wavelengths/frequencies.

What kind of solar radiation causes water to evaporate?
All types do, though the shorter wavelengths carry higher energy, which allows them to evaporate water more easily.
What is the difference between spontaneous emission of radiation and stimulated emission of radiation?
The laser causes the stimulated emission of radiation. The light emitted is monochromatic and coherent,that is plane polarised. I imagine that spontaneous emission occurs in a Light emitting diode ,monochromatic but not polarised. Hope this is of help
What kind of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce?
Ultraviolet waves of certain wavelengths kill bacteria, tan your skin, and produce the effect known as fluorescence. pg 52 of your textExamples: ultraviolet radiation, visible light.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
terrestrial radiation-the long wave radiated by the sun is called terrestrial radiation.
Are specific spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the cause for color if true which causes which?
Not exactly. Different colors are different frequencies of light. "Spectrum", on the other hand, refers to an analysis of a mix of wavelengths.
What causes the difference between breccias and conglomerante?
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
Difference in a charge between two electrodes in a cell causes a ----between electrodes?
Potential difference.
