Hopefully this is the question that you wanted. Shade is the best barrier. Shade provided by structures and trees. Sunglasses with 100% ultraviolet protection. Sunscreens that have high SPF numbers. Clouds are not good barriers. You can get a sunburn and harmful UV exposure on a cloudy day.
What else can I help you with?
What is scattering?
Scattering is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory
Why does the earth receive different amount of sun and light?
1. The main thing to keep in mind is that the earth is like a huge ball, a globe in the sky.2. Now imagine the sun is directly over a particular place on the earth. If you block the sun with a disk that is 1 ft in diameter, on the surface of the earth you will see a shadow of the disk. The shadow will be a circle that will also be 1 ft in diameter. This shadow shows the area the sun's energy would have received if the disc wasn't there.3. But if the sun is shining at an angle, which it does in the morning or evening, and which it does in wintertime, and you then block the sun with that same 1 ft disk, the shadow on the ground will be bigger, possibly much bigger. It will still be 1 ft wide, but it will have a long elliptical shape. This bigger shadow shows the larger area that any given 'amount per minute' of the sun's energy that would have reached if the disc wasn't there.So, if the same amount of 'energy per minute' from the sun is now radiating onto an area twice as big, then the amount of energy reaching each square inch per minute will be halved, and it will be cooler!This is why it is cooler at the beginning and end of the day, and cooler in summer than in winter.In the same way, on a grand scale, when the sun is directly overhead at midday, for example, at the equator (0o latitude), or between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (latitude 23.43o), then the maximum amount of the sun's energy 'per square foot per minute' is reaching the surface of the earth, and it will be at its warmest/hottest.But the further away from the tropics you go, sloping away, say, to latitude 40o (e.g. Italy) or 65o (Iceland) then the energy from the sun can only strike the earth's surface at an angle, thus spreading the 'energy per minute' over more square feet. The heat/light will be less per square foot, and the surface of the earth at those places will consequently be cooler than the temperature of the earth's surface where the 'energy per minute' comes from directly overhead and thus onto a smaller area.
How is solar energy captured?
Solar energy is captured and converted to normal energy through solar panels.You see the solar panle collects the energy from the sun some solar panels turn the heat into energy but others collect it from the light. The energy goes in an energy box and when energy is needed the energy that the solar panel collected gets used.It only transforms, it is not yet possible to make energy.I've given a couple links below to articles that can answer your question.
Do light bulbs help plants grow better than sun?
No, sunlight has the perfect radiation and rays you need in a plant. A light bulb doesn't. ----
How is photography related to physics?
First of all, electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, so the two terms are almost synonymous. The very definition of "photography" is: the creation of images by capturing radiation on a "radiation-sensitive medium". Almost always the type of "radiation" captured in photography is electromagnetic radiation, and almost always the type of electromagnetic radiation captured in photography is light, therefore almost always the type of "radiation-sensitive medium" used in photography is light-sensitive film used in cameras. In short, photography is the art and/or science of capturing electromagnetic waves for the purpose of making pictures, except for a few rare types of photography. Some exceptions to the standard light-with-film type of photography are: (1) infrared photography, such as used in aerial photography, since infrared electromagnetic radiation cannot be seen, unlike light, and (2) x-ray photography, since x-ray electromagnetic radiation also cannot be seen. It is conceivable that other, extremely rare types of photography such as the capturing of alpha particles or beta particles, which are other types of radiation different than electromagnetic radiation, could also be considered "photography," but those would likely be used only for limited scientific purposes rather than for recreational purposes.
Why is terrestrial radiation weaker than solar radiation?
Terrestrial radiation is weaker than solar radiation primarily because it originates from the Earth's surface, which absorbs solar energy and re-emits it as infrared radiation. This radiation is lower in energy compared to solar radiation, which includes a broad spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet and visible light. Additionally, the Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters some of this terrestrial radiation, further diminishing its intensity compared to the direct energy received from the sun. As a result, solar radiation is significantly more potent and has a greater impact on the Earth's climate and ecosystems.
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
What is visible sun radiation?
Visible means that you can see it.All the light from the sun that you can see is the visible solar radiation.The sunlight is seen as white light, but it is made of all the colors.A prism or a rainbow breaks the white light apart into all the colors that it is made of.An example of invisible solar radiation (you can't see it) is the ultraviolet light that gives you a tan or sun burn.Another type of invisible solar radiation is infrared light that you feel as the warmth of the sun.
What happens as solar radiation travels towards earth?
Some is absorbed by molecules in the atmosphere (such as ultraviolet absorption by ozone), some is absorbed on the surface, and some is reflected by clouds or the surface back into space. The surface will re-radiate much of the absorbed solar radiation as infrared (thermal) radiation, and some of this is then absorbed by atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Can solar cells work with infrared radiations?
Yes, solar cells can work with infrared radiation to some extent. While traditional silicon solar cells are most efficient with visible light, certain types of materials, such as quantum dots or perovskites, can capture and convert infrared radiation into electricity. This allows for better utilization of a broader range of solar energy.
What are two types of energy which come from the sun?
The sun is a complicated machine, but in the end it produces radiation, which arrives to Earth. We use some of that radiation - the visible light part of the spectrum - to see. Some of this radiation can be turned into solar energy. My butt itches.
How does does solar radiation and infrared radiation interact with earth?
Solar radiation from the sun interacts with the Earth's atmosphere, warming the surface. Some of this energy is radiated back into space as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, causing a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
What type of radiation enters the greenhouse?
Solar radiation, primarily in the form of visible light and some infrared radiation, enters the greenhouse. This radiation passes through the transparent materials of the greenhouse, such as glass or plastic. Once inside, the light is absorbed by plants and surfaces, which then emit heat in the form of infrared radiation. The greenhouse's structure traps this heat, creating a warmer environment conducive to plant growth.
Why do people not die from solar radiation?
Part of the reason is that we evolved to survive it.Another part of the reason is that the atmosphere absorbs some of the most harmful parts of the solar radiation.
What are ways to transmit data in space?
Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.
What type of solar radiation do you mostly get from the sun?
Well, honey, the sun is constantly throwing shade at us with a mix of ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared radiation. So, to answer your question, we mostly get visible light from the sun. But don't forget about those sneaky UV rays trying to give us a sunburn while we're just trying to catch some Vitamin D.
Is solar radiation absorbed at earth's surface and is reemitted as infrared radiation?
Yes, solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and is then reemitted as infrared radiation. This process is also known as the greenhouse effect, where certain gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, leading to warming of the planet.
