The wavelengths that reach Earth primarily include visible light, which ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers, along with some infrared radiation (700 nanometers to 1 millimeter) and a small portion of ultraviolet radiation (10 to 400 nanometers). The atmosphere filters out much of the harmful ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, allowing mainly visible light and some infrared radiation to penetrate and reach the surface. This spectrum is vital for processes like photosynthesis and influences the Earth's climate and weather systems.
What else can I help you with?
What is one energy the reaches earth from the sun?
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
When energy from the sun reaches earth it is not?
absorbed by earth's core
Why does the moon look orange in an eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks direct sunlight from reaching the moon. However, some sunlight still reaches the moon after passing through Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere scatters shorter-wavelength blue and green light, allowing longer-wavelength red and orange light to reach the moon, giving it an orange hue during an eclipse.
Does the moon gets more light from the sun than the earth does?
Since the moon does not have an atmosphere, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the moon is more intense than the sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth after passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
What is an increase in the wavelength of light as a galaxy moves away from earth?
Red Shift
Which part does reach earth - longer wavelength infrared or shorter wavelength infrared?
Longer wavelength infrared radiation reaches Earth. This type of infrared radiation is also known as thermal infrared, which is emitted by the Earth's surface and is an important component of the Earth's energy budget. Shorter wavelength infrared, such as near-infrared, is mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and does not reach the surface.
How do the wavelength and frequency of light from Andromeda seem to changed when viewed from earth?
When light from Andromeda reaches Earth, its wavelength and frequency appear to be shifted towards longer wavelengths (redshifted). This is due to the expansion of the universe causing the space between Andromeda and the Milky Way to stretch, resulting in the light wavelengths becoming stretched.
How radiant energy reaches the earth?
It reaches earth as an electromagnetic wave.
When the wavelength of the light to reaches your eyes what do you see?
When light of a specific wavelength reaches your eyes, it interacts with the photoreceptor cells in the retina, specifically the cones, which are responsible for color vision. The brain then processes this information, allowing you to perceive and distinguish different colors.
What is one energy the reaches earth from the sun?
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
Can transparent objects can have color?
Yes, you can see a color when light of a certain wavelength reaches your eye.
If wavelength of light is 104 of radii of earth than why it will penetrate deeper in sea?
if wavelength of light is of order of radii of earth then why it will penetrate deeper in sea?
What is magma called when it reaches the earth's surface?
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is known as lava.
What is a meteoroid that reaches earth surface?
When a meteor reaches the Earth's surface, it is classified as a meteorite.
What does magma do when it reaches Earth's surface?
it breaks the earth's surface
When energy from the sun reaches earth it is not?
absorbed by earth's core
What is the molten material found on the earth's surface?
The molten material that reaches earth's surface is lava :)
