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
What best explains why the ice age lasted for hundreds of years?
Solar radiation was reflected by the ice
Which part of earth receives the greatest total amount of solar radiation when earth is in position?
South
What fundamental force is responsible solar eclipse?
The occurence of a Solar Elcipse is caused by the relative orbits of the Earth and the Moon around Sun and the Earth respectively. Those orbits are caused by the Gravitational Forces of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. So I would have to say that Gravity is the Fundamental Force responsible for a solar eclipse.
What Energy not ultimately derived from solar radiation is found in?
tides
Where does wind resource came from?
Ultimately, the energy from wind energy comes from solar radiation.
What is responsible for absorbing the largest portion of incoming solar radiation?
Oxygen and ozone
Which two layers of the atmosphere are responsible for the majority of solar radiation absorption?
Stratosphere and Thermosphere
Which two layers of the atmosphere are responsible for the majority of the solar radiation absorption?
Stratosphere and Thermosphere
Which substance present in the atmosphere is responsible for the absorption of solar radiation with a wavelength less than 242 nm?
Oxygen is responsible for the absorption of solar radiation with a wavelength less than 242nm. UV radiation splits oxygen into atoms and the atoms combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone. Generally, all multi-atom?æ compounds are capable of absorbing UV radiation when the wavelength is short.
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
How do animals get solar radiation by eating plants?
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
