Ultraviolet radiation
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.
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by the Earth's surface. However, about 6 percent of the solar radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface. This reflection occurs mainly from surfaces like ice, snow, and water, which have high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of incoming solar energy.
Most of the solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface is later radiated back into space as infrared radiation. This process helps to maintain Earth's energy balance and regulate its temperature.
Equatorial regions near the equator receive the most solar radiation. These areas receive direct sunlight throughout the year due to their proximity to the sun's rays, resulting in high levels of solar energy input.
No, infrared radiation does not have the most energy among the solar radiation that reaches the outer atmosphere of Earth. In the electromagnetic spectrum, shorter wavelengths like ultraviolet (UV) radiation have more energy than longer wavelengths such as infrared. While infrared radiation is a significant portion of the solar energy that reaches Earth, it is the UV and visible light ranges that contain higher energy photons.
X-ray and gamma-ray radiation from the Sun are the most powerful types of solar radiation. They have the highest energy levels and can be harmful to living organisms if not filtered out by the Earth's atmosphere.
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.
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.

Solar radiation.
A black, matte surface such as asphalt or dark rock would absorb the most solar radiation as it has a high absorptivity and low reflectivity, meaning it can efficiently convert incoming solar radiation into heat.

i think it is the x-rays with the air in the atmosphere as einstein once said...... hello
Answer ------> The Tropics(1/1) points
black steel
no. there are no black holes in our solar system.
Part of the reason is that we evolved to survive it.Another part of the reason is that the atmosphere absorbs some of the most harmful parts of the solar radiation.
