What else can I help you with?
From were does the earth get solar energy?
The Earth gets its solar energy from the sun. We are the perfect distance away to harvest this resource.
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
Which part of earth receives the greatest total amount of solar radiation when earth is in position?
South
What best explains why the ice age lasted for hundreds of years?
Solar radiation was reflected by the ice
Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
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 happens to solar radiation from the moment it leaves the sun until it reaches the surface?
It find its way to earth
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
What happens to solar radiation from the moment it leaves the sun until it reaches earths surface?
It find its way to earth
What happens to the ice when a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation?
When a comet passes close enough to the sun to be heated by solar system radiation, the ice will be heated up and given off as gas
How do animals get solar radiation by eating plants?
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
What happens to the intensity of solar radiation as latitude increases?
As latitude increases, the intensity of solar radiation decreases. This is because the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface becomes more oblique, leading to greater atmospheric absorption and scattering, which reduces the amount of solar energy that reaches the surface.
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.
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
How is incoming solar radiation is affected by the ozone in the atmosphere?
The solar radiation can be divided into many parts. The UV radiation part of it helps to form the ozone.
