There is a difference between poles and equator. It is because depletion is minimum at equator.

If clouds absorb only a small amount of solar radiation how is Earth's atmosphere heated?
From the surface. Solar radiation is absorbed by the surface and emitted at a longer wavelength, which is essentially heat.
What is the formula for electromagnetic radiation?
The Stefan - Boltzmann law gives the radiant energy emitted or absorbed by an object:Source: Cutnell, Physics, 8th edition
Is ultraviolet radiation the energy emitted by earth?
no
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
Which is the result of visible light absorbed by a metal?
light at a frequency similar to the absorbed frequency is emitted
What happens to beta alpha and gamma radiation after they are emitted?
they are absorbed, depositing their energy in whatever absorbed them.
Which biome has the highest net radiation budget value?
It's actually the rain forest because that is the biome closest to the equator, meaning that it has a net radiation budget surplus (more solar radiation is absorbed than reflected/re-emitted as infrared radiation), unlike the biomes closer to the poles which will have a net radiation budget deficit (more infrared radiation is re-emitted/reflected than solar radiation that is absorbed).

Quantum definition and antonym?
Definition: The smallest amount of energy that can be emitted or absorbed as electromagnetic radiation. Antonym: unfixed
What is the heat capacity of dark colors vs light colors?
The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.

How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
What is the difference Radiation and irradiation?
Radiation is emitted from something and travels from its point of origin to somewhere else. When radiation hits something else (and is therefore stopped) the thing that has been hit is said to have been irradiated. Thus a sunbather is undergoing irradiation by radiation emitted by the sun.

Transfer of radiant energy is?
Mostly done by infra red EM radiation, since this is emitted by hot bodies and absorbed by bodies that receive it.
What causes fluorescence?
Fluorescence is glowing, or giving off light.
What is the electromagnetic specturm?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
