What is the definition for intensity of insolation?
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
What is solar reflection?
The average reflectance is then determined by an averaging process, using a standard solar spectrum. This method is documented by ASTM (Amer. Soc. for ...
What are the two ways that heat is distributed on earth?
Solar radiation is radiation heat transfer into the biosphere and trapped by plant to the form of chemical energy. The motion of air and gas in biosphere due to contact with cold or hot surface involve conduction and radiation. The wind carrying heat is convection.
Solar radiation warms the surface of the planet and then is radiated back in the form of?
Electro-magnetic Radiant Energy, that can be referred to as the electromagnetic radiation in all the the EM bands. As well, the Solar wind contains physical particles that bombard - in a streaming function - the Surface of the Earth and produce the Aurora Borealis.
Why is the noon solar intensity greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice?
The sun angle is greater during the summer solstice. This is because the Earth is tilted toward the sun rather than away from it.
What part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?
Visible light radiation
What is energy from the sun known as?
solar The sun releases electromagnetic energy in the entire EM spectrum from radio waves up to Gamma radiation
Does solar radiation contain a complete spectrum of all forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it does. It contains all the forms of radiation, but 99% of its energy is carried by radiation with wavelengths between 278 and 4600 nm, with the maximum at 4720 nm.
What has the author M E Bruner written?
M. E. Bruner has written: 'Ultraviolet spectrometer and polarimeter (UVSP) software development and hardware tests for the Solar Maximum Mission' -- subject(s): Solar Maximum Mission (Project), Solar Spectrum, Spectrum, Solar, Ultraviolet spectrometry 'Dynamic evolution of the source volumes of gradual and impulsive solar flare emissions' -- subject(s): Solar flares
What type of solar radiation do you mostly get from the sun?
Solar radiation is the radiant energy that is emitted by the sun. About half of the solar radiation is short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The second half is mostly in the near-infrared part.
What type of radiation do stars emit?
Electromagnetic radiation is the primary solar radiation, which ranges from UV through the visible spectrum into the infrared (IR), including long radio waves.
Why do plants also contain accessory pigments?
Additional pigment in plants, other than chlorophyll, enable these to utilize maximum solar radiations. For example carotene and xanthophylls absorb those radiations which remain inaccessible to chlorophyll a & b.
What has the author Marc S Allen written?

What is the relation between the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll?
Solar radiation peaks in energy in the mid-yellow range. Chlorphyll's absorption also peaks in this range. It is a demonstration of the adaption of plants to optimizing their production efficiency.

Can solar flares change the colour of light because light particles gain their colour from their frequency and different solar flares may send out light waves with different frequencies?
Solar flares are sudden brightening of the sun caused by ejection of huge energies. Solar flares will most likely not affect the colour light because solar flares produces radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Thus, it is difficult to view solar flares on the visible spectrum and must be viewed with special instruments.In other words, photons (light particles/waves) from a solar flare are emitted at all frequencies along the electromagnetic spectrum and must be viewed with special equipment. Unless the solar flare interacts with anything else (maybe other atmospheres), they don't change the colour of light.
Sunspots are most numerous in the sun in solar maximum or solar minimum?
Solar Maximum
