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.

How might snowier winters slow global warming?
Snow acts as a reflector (albedo) so more of the sun's radiation will be reflected back into space instead of warming the earth.This will make a tiny difference to the speed of global warming.
What are the effects of global warming on global winds?
Global winds are dependent largely on the large difference in temperature between polar and tropical regions. Global warming heats the poles faster than the tropics, thus reducing the temperature difference. Exactly how global winds would change as a result is hard to predict. One likely trend would be a weakening of jets streams in the temperate latitudes.
What is the relationship between the use of fossil fuels and global warming?
penis
What effect does global warming have on tides?
Tides are the result of gravitational forces between the Earth and moon. Global warming would little effect on tidal patterns although sea levels can be affected by global warming.
How does the theory of plate tectonics relate to present concerns about air pollution and global warming?
There is practically no connection between plate tectonics, air pollution and global warming.
Is global warming an indirect or direct threat to biodiversity?
indirect
Which gas is used as reference to calculate global warming potential?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is given a Global Warming Potential measure of 1.There are many green house gases that cause global warming but the gas used as reference to calculate global warming potential is carbon dioxide (Co2)
What measurement or index takes into consideration both the indirect and direct Global Warming effects of refrigerants?
Total Equivalent Warming Impact or (TEWI)
What is the difference in global warming and global jihad?
global warming is an environmental phenomenon and Jihad is holy war. So there is no relation between them.
What potential problem do you foresee?
I foresee global warming.
What is the Global Warming Potential for ozone?
Ozone depletion can cause global warming. It is due to the plankton death.
What measurement or index takes into consideration both the indirect and direct global-warming effects of refrigerants?
TEWI
Are brightly colored live in the fall are warming to the potential to herbivores?
welcome
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
What is difference between heating things and burning things?
Heating is basically warming something at a lower temperature and burning is heating something at a high temperature.
What is the difference between the ozone layer and greenhouse gases?
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
What is the difference between a response and a adaptation?
Migrating toward warming weather is a bird's response to cold weather, while a wolf growing a thicker coat is adaptation.
