What Is terrestrial radiation and How does it differ from solar radiation?

They are essentially the same thing. Solar radiation from the sun is made up of two components: (1) direct solar raidation; and (2) diffuse solar radiation. Global radiation refers to the sum of direct and diffuse fractions.

The two important diatomic gases in our atmosphere are oxygen and nitrogen. Thus, it is the least abundant gases that serve as absorbers of terrestrial radiation, i.e. the greenhouse gases (Table 7). If our planet had no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, then surface temperatures would be 255 K. As it is, global average surface temperature is about 288 K. The difference, 33 K, is the magnitude of the planetary greenhouse.

thorium, and their decay products.

What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
terrestrial radiation-the long wave radiated by the sun is called terrestrial radiation.
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
What is the effect of climate change on solar ultraviolet radiation?
solar uv radiation gets changed into heat
What happens to the amount of solar radiation as latitude increases?
The north pole receives more solar radiation during the summer than the equator does, but during winter, it receives no solar radiation. This means that as latitude increases, the amount of solar radiation increases in the summer and decreases in the winter.
Does solar radiation keep the earth's lower atmosphere warm?
Solar radiation is what keeps the entire planet warm.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
terrestrial radiation-the long wave radiated by the sun is called terrestrial radiation.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
What is net radiation surplus?
Net radiation, or net flux, is the balance between the incoming and outgoing energy here on Earth. It is the amount of energy that has influence over the climate.
Which radiation is also called effective radiation?
terrestrial
What are the source of radiation?
Cosmic radiation External terrestrial and internal radiation
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Are the terrestrial planets part of the solar system?
Yes: the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are part of our own solar system.
