What is the amount of the average background radiation in millirems?
300 millirems
What is the average exposure of people living in the US to environmental background radiation?
The average worldwide exposure of people to environmental background radiation is about 2.4 mSv (milliSievert) per year. The referenced source does not break that down by country.Ref: "Report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation to the General Assembly", http://www.unscear.org/docs/reports/gareport.pdf
What is nuclear transmission?
Nuclear transmission is that measurement of amount of radiation found inside of a shield versus the outside. The transmission is the amount of radiation that is received by passing through the protective shield.
What radiation is the light bulb?
Light, heat, and a very small amount of electromagnetic field.
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal it is called what?
radiation balance
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.
What is the amount of the average background radiation in millirems?
300 millirems
Which part of earth receives the greatest total amount of solar radiation when earth is in position?
South
Are short periods of climate changes caused by changes caused by changes in amount of solar radiation an area receives?
Seasons :)
What are the short periods of climate change caused by changes in the amount of solar radiation an area receives?

How does the Sun provide the Earth with nearly all of its energy and variable weather?
How: Earth receives the Sun's radiation as sunlight (and a smaller amount of invisible light, such as infrared and ultraviolet radiation). This is a huge amount of power received by Earth.
Do granite counter tops give off radiation?
Granite does not give off radiation, though it may contain trace amounts of material which does. Any amount of radiation it releases should be insignificant (i.e. background radiation).
What factors in the atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation receives from the sun?
The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun
What location on earth recives roughly the same amount of soar radation year round?
what location on earth receives roughly the same amount of solar radiation year round
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
What is the current residual radiation of hiroshima and nagasaki?
Today, the background radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the same as the average amount of natural radiation present anywhere on Earth. It is not enough to affect human health. http://www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/kids/KPSH_E/question_box/question12.html
How did earths atmosphere change during precambrian time?
The amount of oxygen increased greatly
