The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?
Insolation
How do aerosol particles affect insolation?
They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
What surface has the least amount of friction?
The surfaces used as the measure of lowest friction are generally wet ice on wet ice. Some materials, such as superfluid Helium III have no measurable friction.
What surface uses the least amount of friction?
wet surfaces like tiles have the least amount oof friction
Which letter represents the surface that most likely absorbs the greatest amount of insolation?
C
Which paint should be used on the absorber plate if it is designed to absorb the greatest possible amount of insolation?
black paint
The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?
Insolation
What is the technical term for the amount of warmth and light from the sun?
Insolation
What Has the greatest amount of friction between solid surfaces?
Solids that are actually glued, or better yet soldered, together.
Why do white surfaces stay cooler than dark ones?
White surfaces reflect infrared radiation (which includes light and heat), while darker/blacker surfaces absorbinfrared radiation. As a result, lighter/whiter surfaces will be cooler because they reflect heat, and darker/blacker surfaces will be warmer because they absorb heat. The amount by which a surface reflects (or absorbs) infrared radiation is referred to as albedo and is usually expressed as a value between 0 (no reflection) and 1 (perfect reflection).
How do aerosol particles affect insolation?
They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).
Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?
hmm. maybe you should pay attentin in school(:
Why do you think the amount of insolation increases from the poles towards the equator?
There is no 'why' because that statement is false. The equator is right in the CENTER of the tropics. As the sun wiggles back and forth between the edges of the tropics each year, the equator is the place that receives the MOST average insolation.
What determines the amount of friction?
The roughness of the two objects coming in contact determines the degree of friction.
What are the biggest 2 factors in determining the amount of friction?
The force with which both surfaces are touching and the types of surfaces involved
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
