Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the earths surface. However about 6 percent of the solar radiation is blank by the earths surface?
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.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
The Earth's surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by convection and radiation. As the surface heats up, air in contact with the surface warms up and rises, creating vertical currents of warm air. At the same time, the Earth's surface emits radiation in the form of heat, which is absorbed by the atmosphere.
What percent of the suns radiation is lost before reaching the earths surface?
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.
Which process is responsible for the greatest loss of energy from earths surface into space on a clear night?
The process responsible for the greatest loss of energy from Earth's surface into space on a clear night is radiative cooling. This occurs when the Earth's surface emits infrared radiation, allowing heat to escape into the atmosphere and eventually into space. On clear nights, the absence of clouds reduces the insulation effect, leading to more efficient heat loss. Consequently, surface temperatures can drop significantly during such conditions.
What season is it when the sun is heating earths surface the most?
It is summer when the sun is heating earths surface the most.
Is mount novarupta responsible for any of earths surface changes?
is mount novarupta responsible for any of earths surface changes
What allowed lush plant to grow on earths surface?
you suppose to answer it not leave it blank anyways the answer is heating of earths surface
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
How are convective currents formed?
From the uneven heating of the earths surface
What occurs because of unequal heating of earths surface?
wind
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What emits radiant energy toward earths surface?
The Sun is the primary source of radiant energy that emits electromagnetic radiation toward Earth's surface, including visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. This energy is essential for sustaining life on Earth through processes like photosynthesis and heating the planet.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
Wind
How is earths surface heated and how does it affect the troposphere?
The Earth's surface is heated by the sun's radiation. The heated surface then warms the air in the troposphere through conduction and convection. This heating creates temperature gradients that drive atmospheric circulation patterns and weather systems within the troposphere.
What are winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
