1. It will catch a flame from entering the Earth's atmosphere. 2. It could explode causing pieces to fly eveywhere. 3. It can enter the atmosphere normally, and land in a very dangerous condition.

Radiation on any "surface" is described by three interactions: # reflection (very near zero for light with a wavelength shorter than a meter). # absorption (very near unity for UV-B and more energetic, and near zero for most gases of which our atmosphere is composed for less energetic wavelengths). # transmission (very near unity for all wavelengths longer than UV-B). r + a + t = 1

Radiation that reaches our atmosphere does one of three things.

1) passes through the atmosphere and reaches the surface.

2) reacts with ozone (O3).

3) gets reflected back into space.

1. Stop 2. Drop 3. and Roll! Sierenna (sir-en-A): No all those are wrong :-P. Three things that can happen is that the ozone may cause Global warming, The Ultraviolet radiation will effect us, and CFC's might kill use. Check if my answers are right cause im just pulling it off of my memory :-D

When radiation strikes an object, it can reflect it, causing it to bounce off. It can refract it, causing the radiation to be bent in direction. Or it can be absorbed.

Part of the rays are reflected immediately; part of them are absorbed and converted to heat.

What is the thermosphere's job in the atmosphere and what would happen if there was no thermosphere?

Thermosphere shields us from radiation that the sun emits. That is its main job. It serves as a protective shield against the x-ray and UV radiation being emitted by the sun and keeps earth's temperature in which living things can survive. Without it, the earth will be destroyed by radiation heat.

What formula used to calculate how much an object weighs?

You can't actually calculate it, which is the main reason why, in placeswhere they need to know the weight of things, you find scales.If you happen to know the object's mass, you can multiply that by the localacceleration of gravity, and the result is the object's weight. But what arethe chances of that happening !


Why is there radiation in galaxies?

This is a difficult question to answer, like many things in science. We know they exist, but we wonder why. Gravity exists, we roughly know how it works and its effects, why it exists? It just does. It happened to be a part of the laws of physics put into motion once the universe formed. Radiation as it is commonly thought of, for example alpha radiation, is given off by the decay of certain elements. Radon gas is radioactive, thus it decays slowly to a more stable state and in doing so it releases charged particles - alpha. We know things happen, we know how they happen and can predict when. What we really will never know (probably) is why.

When light waves strikes a red object what happens to the light wave of all colors except red?

Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
