Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.
What else can I help you with?
What do inderect sunlight and direct sunlight have in common?
they both come from the sun
Radiation can come from the sun and where else?
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-rays.
What other forms of radiation may come from the stars?
Helium and hydrogen
Where did the coulers in the rainbow come from?
The colors in a rainbow come from the dispersion of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. When sunlight enters a raindrop, it gets reflected internally and refracted, separating the light into its different colors creating a spectrum of colors. This phenomenon is known as dispersion.
What kinds of radiation come from the sun?
The sun emits three main types of radiation: visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, and infrared (heat) radiation. Visible light enables us to see, UV light can cause sunburns and skin damage, while infrared radiation warms the Earth.
Where does long wave radiation come from in the energy budget?
Long wave radiation in the Earth's energy budget primarily comes from the Earth's surface. The surface absorbs shortwave radiation from the sun and then emits longwave radiation back into the atmosphere. This longwave radiation plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's energy balance.
The light from the sun is called?
Ah, what a wonderful question! The light from the sun is called sunlight. It brings warmth and brightness to our world, filling it with beautiful colors and shadows. Just like how adding a touch of yellow to your painting can make it come alive, sunlight brings life and energy to everything it touches.
What are 3 waves of radiation that come from the sun?
Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
What is Radiation that is not a particle?
Radiation will always remain a particle so long as it doesn't come in contact with MOST direct sunlight, or water. In that case, water becomes irradiated and the Particle becomes part of the water..answer 2 electromagnetic radiation - radio waves do not involve particles. Sound waves, heat, and UV light etc also are radiation. 'Radiation' is also used in biology, to describe the spread .
Define radiation?
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
Where does the source of energy come for photosynthesis?
it comes from sunlight
Were does sunlight come from?
THE SUN
What do inderect sunlight and direct sunlight have in common?
they both come from the sun
What is the similarity of direct sunlight and indirect sunlight?
They both come from the sun.
Radiation in a sentence?
when an astronaut go into outer space, they must be careful of the sun's radiation. fun fact: astronauts must be careful of the sun's radiation because when they are on earth, the atmosphere blocks out the majority of the sun's radiation. so, when they leave the earth's atmosphere, they are no longer as protected from the sun's harmful rays. cool, huh?:D
What other forms of may come from stars?
xray radiation and ultraviolet radiation
