Oh, my friend, the sun is our big, glowing friend in the sky, and it's important to give it plenty of space! You see, the closer we get to the sun, the hotter it becomes and that can be harmful to us. So, it's best to stay a safe distance away and simply admire its beauty from afar.
Yes, meteors can strike the sun, but they most likely burn up in the sun's intense heat and radiation before reaching its surface. The sun's strong gravitational pull can also deflect or capture incoming meteors.
Approximately 30% of the Sun's radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric gases, and the Earth's surface. Additionally, about 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere, leaving around 50% of the Sun's radiation to reach the Earth's surface. This means that roughly 50% of the incoming solar radiation is lost before it reaches the ground.
Twenty percent of the radiation from the sun refers to the portion of solar energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere. This radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation, which are essential for life on Earth. The remaining 80 percent is absorbed or scattered by the atmosphere before it reaches the surface. Ultimately, the radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is crucial for climate, weather patterns, and supporting ecosystems.
Yes, Earth's atmosphere filters out certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as most ultraviolet radiation and some infrared radiation, before they reach the surface. This filtering is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation.
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface
A person would die within minutes if they were to approach the sun. As they got closer, the intense heat and radiation would quickly become lethal, causing severe burns and damage to the body. The extreme temperatures and conditions near the sun's surface are inhospitable to any form of life.
The result would be death long before you reached the Sun's surface, due to the intense heat and radiation.
stopping disagreements before they become too intense. this is necessary to ensure everyone knows what the outcomes are.
As a meteors enters the earth's atmosphere, the frictional heat is so intense it begins to catch fire, which is why must meteors burn-up before they hit our planet. Meteors are called meteors until they hit the earth's surface, then they are called meteorites!!
Before you even start to search for radiation school you should know that candidates with a degree in radiography (radiological imaging) can become qualified by completing a 1-year certificate program of radiation therapist. At www.braintrack.com you can find all radiation therapy schools and colleges.
Infrared radiation can penetrate and heat the skin, potentially causing burns or damage if exposure is prolonged or too intense. However, some studies suggest that low levels of infrared radiation can have positive effects on the body, such as promoting blood circulation and reducing inflammation. It is important to limit exposure to excessive levels of infrared radiation and to consult with a healthcare professional before using any infrared therapy.
After a neutron bomb blast, the immediate radiation from the explosion is intense but short-lived, primarily consisting of neutron and gamma radiation. Most of the harmful radiation dissipates within a few hours to a few days, but residual radiation from fallout can persist for weeks to years, depending on the environment and the amount of fallout produced. The high-energy neutrons are particularly effective at penetrating materials, so areas near the blast may require extended periods before being deemed safe for human habitation.
Electromagnetic radiation, in layman terms, light. Atoms of gas and dust and other matter are spinning around the black hole at such incredible speeds that the heat from the friction of this rubbing action causes the immediate area just outside the event horizon to intensely light up and glow, thus creating a Quasar.
The intense radiation and force of gravity would kill you long before you reached the event horizon, so it would be a bit academic! Anything finally reaching the heart of the black hole would be vaporised.
# Become an actor and audition for the campy movies. # Get bitten by a radio-active spider - the exact spieces and type of radiation is unknown but you can experiment a bit before you die.
The human retina is not very sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. The lens of the eye absorbs much of the UV radiation before it reaches the retina, protecting it from potential damage. However, prolonged exposure to intense UV light can still cause harm to the eyes.
about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface
