What causes fluorescence?
Fluorescence is glowing, or giving off light.
What is re-radiation mean?

Two paths a unit of energy could take until it re radiated out to space?
Direct radiation from sun, reflection from moon.
What is photo luminescence?
it is not photo luminescence it is photoluminescence.Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is a process in which a substance absorbs photons (electromagnetic radiation) and then re-radiates photons.
What is mean by thermoluminescence?
According to Wikipedia: "Thermoluminescence is a form of luminescence that is exhibited by certain crystalline materials, such as some minerals, when previously absorbed energy from electromagnetic radiation or other ionizing radiation is re-emitted as light upon heating of the material." You can read more about this phenomenon, below.

What happens when a star becomes a black dwarf?
Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.
How does the greenhouse effect work relative to earth's energy balance?
The balance of incident Solar radiation as compared to the Re-Radiation of the same incident Solar radiation is skewed so that the Re-Radiation is cancelled and the Heat - easily in infra-red form - is Retained at and by the Earth.
Which biome has the highest net radiation budget value?
It's actually the rain forest because that is the biome closest to the equator, meaning that it has a net radiation budget surplus (more solar radiation is absorbed than reflected/re-emitted as infrared radiation), unlike the biomes closer to the poles which will have a net radiation budget deficit (more infrared radiation is re-emitted/reflected than solar radiation that is absorbed).

Carbon dioxide traps shortwave radiation and re-radiates it?
Carbon dioxide mainly has an effect on longwave radiation. It absorbs longwave radiation and re-radiates it, some of it back downwards. This means carbon dioxide increases the amount of radiation going back down to the surface, and the surface has to warm up to compensate.
What causes electromagnetic radiation to change its wavelengths?
Absorption and re-emission.
What happens to incoming solar radiation after it is reflected off the surface of the earth?
The wavelength is longer. Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared radiation (heat).
The atmospheric greenhouse effect is produced mainly by the?
absorption and re-emission of infrared radiation by the atmosphere.
What is re-radiation mean?
it means for example the sun heats the sand and the sands heats your feet
What is re radiation mean?

Why is methane such a potent greenhouse gas?
Because it can kill people and plants like in cigarettes. Because it prevents re-radiation of Incoming EM radiation; similar to CO2.
