What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
Which planet has an atmosphere that protects life from the suns radiation?
Earth.
Why cant all the wavelengths enter the earth's atmosphere?
The atmosphere absorbs the electromagnetic solar radiation.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
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 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 happens to the energy provided by the sun as it passes through the atmosphere in the form of radiation?
The kinds of electromagnetic radiation differ in the length of their waves, so the electromagnetic waves are absorbed, scattered, or reflected by the atmosphere and Earth's surface
The major portion of which form of solar radiation is absorbed as it passes through the atmosphere with only a tiny fraction of the original amount reaching the surface of the earth?
ground radiation
What two things can happen to the energy that enters the atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
What is the source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse?
Sol.The Sun is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.
What is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect?
The sun is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
Does Mars receive radiation from the Sun?
Yes. Earth receives radiation. The atmosphere acts as a filter. The atmosphere of Mars is thinner than Earth. Mars receives radiation also.
