The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in?

The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in the visible light spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can detect, making it the most intense and dominant type of radiation that reaches the Earth.


How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?

The Sun emits a broader spectrum of radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared radiation, while Earth primarily emits infrared radiation due to its lower temperature. The Sun's radiation is much more intense and has higher energy compared to the radiation emitted by Earth.


Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is our sun's energy the highest concetration?

The highest concentration of the Sun's energy is in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can perceive and where the Sun emits the most intense radiation.


What is the surface of the sun which emits the radiation you can see?

The part of the Sun's surface that emits the radiation we can see is called the photosphere. It is the visible surface layer of the Sun and has a temperature of around 5,500 degrees Celsius. This is where most of the visible light and heat that we receive from the Sun originates.


When is solar radiation most intense?

Solar radiation is most intense around noon when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the sunlight has the shortest path through the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in maximum intensity.


Surface of the sun which emits the radiation you can see?

How much of ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the sun?

None, the sun emits UV.


Does the earth or the sun emit more infrared radiation?

The Earth emits more infrared radiation than the Sun. The Sun emits mostly visible light and ultraviolet radiation, while the Earth's surface absorbs this energy and reradiates it as infrared radiation due to its lower temperature.


What is heat transfer from the sun called?

Heat transfer from the sun is called radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that carries heat to Earth.


Why do people get cancer when they are under the sun?

People get cancer when they are under the sun because the sun emits radiation.


How does your sun generate their intense radiation?

The sun generates such intense energy via radiation pressure. This involves the placement of hydrogen into helium in the sun's core with the process of nuclear fusion.


Where is sun energy less intense?

The further you get away form the sun the less intense its radiation gets.
