What is the function the atmosphere?
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface
Which part of the atmosphere protects us from meteors?
The air itself protects us from smaller meteors. They burn up before reaching the surface. It cannot protect us from very large ones.
What fraction of the sun's incoming energy?
The question is incomplete. What percentage of the sun's incoming radiation is reflected by clouds, is absorbed by the upper atmosphere, falls to the earth's surface, is reflected by the earth's surface, is in the ultra violet / visible / infra red / other part of the electromagnetic spectrum are all possible questions. I suggest you think a little about your question before posting it.
What lens that magnifies the image before reaching your eye?
retina is the part in eye which inverts the image visible to us and then magnifies it.
Does the sun's energy output remain constant overtime?
Solar output is nearly, but not quite, constant. Variations in total solar irradiance were too small to detect with technology available before the satellite era. As the Earth rotates, the energy from the sun is distributed across the entire surface area. At any given moment, the amount of solar radiation received at a location on the Earth's surface depends on the state of the atmosphere, the location's latitude, and the time of day.
What percent radiation is lost after reaching earth's surface?
about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching earth's surface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching Earth suface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.
Do Volcanic necks and dikes form when magma cools and hardens into rock after reaching the surface?
No, these features form when magma cools into rocks BEFORE reaching the surface.
The solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth is?
visible light
What type of gland does not branch before reaching the secretory portion?
A simple gland communicates with the surface by means of a duct that does not branch before reaching the glandular cells or secretory portion.
Magma that solidifies before reaching the earth's surface is called?
When magma solidifies before reaching Earth's surface it is called intrusive igneous rock, plutonic rock, a pluton. Igneous rock is formed from crystallization of molten magma.
At ocean-continent plate boundaries rising magma may change composition before reaching the surface?
Yes it can
Would uv radiation decrease if the earth's atmosphere vanished?
It would increase, because there would be nothing to absorb it in the atmosphere before reaching the ground.
What is cooking a liquid just below boiling point and bubbles rise slowly and break before reaching surface?
Simmering.
Why does meteros disappears before reaching the earth?
Not all meteors disappear before reaching the earth. The friction they feel as a result of rubbing with the molecules of the earth's atmosphere cause them to burn up. However, a few larger ones will make it to the earths surface.
What the function of the atmosphere?
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface
