All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel through vacuums. No transmission medium is required. Some forms of EMR -- visible light, for example -- cannot pass through solid objects, however.

Does heat from the earths surface go through the atmosphere or get blocked?

Most of the heat from the Earth's surface is able to pass through the atmosphere. However, certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, can trap some of this heat through a process called the greenhouse effect. This phenomenon helps regulate Earth's temperature and keep it habitable.


How can groundwater return to the atmosphere?

Well one way it can return to the atmosphere is it can evaporate and go up. Another way is that it can turn to runoff, water that cannot soak into the ground and instead flows across Earths surface.


Where does carbon dioxide go after it is released into the atmosphere?

After carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, dissolved in the oceans, or remain in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.


What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?

Elastic waves, particularly sound waves and seismic waves, can travel through the Earth's atmosphere. Sound waves propagate through the air, while seismic waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.


How does the sky change as one gets above earths atmosphere?

As one gets above Earth's atmosphere, the sky transitions from a gradient of blue to black due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere. Beyond the atmosphere, the sky appears completely black as there is no atmosphere to scatter sunlight, revealing the vast darkness of space.

Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?

No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.


Can microwaves go through led?

No, microwaves cannot pass through a barrier made of metal, as LEDs are made of semiconductor materials enclosed in a plastic casing. This casing acts as a barrier that blocks microwaves from passing through.


Is the exosphere a real layer?

Yes only rockets go through here after it is outer space that is why it is called the exosphere because your exiting earths atmosphere.


How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?

The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.


How the composition of gases changes as you travel up through the earths atmosphere?

As you go higher in the atmosphere the gases start to compose or join together which causes them to change since there is mixture of more than one gas. Sometimes they form a different element when certain gases form.


What effects the layering of earths atmosphere?

the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.


Would air go into space if your earths ozone layer was broken?

No, it won't. Air is pulled in atmosphere by earth's gravity.


Where can a carbon atom from Earth's atmosphere go next?

A carbon atom from Earth's atmosphere can go next into living organisms through photosynthesis, into the ocean through absorption, or into the soil through decomposition.


Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?

its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.

What is the color of the moon when it is lunar eclipse?

The moon will go orange/red during a lunar eclipse, as the earths atmosphere distores the light from the sun.
