Radiation from the Earth's core can travel up to several thousand kilometers to the surface. Radiation from the sun that reaches the Earth travels about 150 million kilometers.
The major pathways by which energy is absorbed by Earth's surface are through direct sunlight (solar radiation), infrared radiation from the atmosphere, and heat transfer from the Earth's interior. Solar radiation is the primary source of energy for the planet and drives many of Earth's processes, such as photosynthesis and weather patterns.
Yes, infrared radiation occurs naturally on Earth. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero. This type of radiation is commonly used in various applications, such as thermal imaging and infrared heaters.
1. Most of the short wave energy produced by the sun passes easily through the atmosphere and heats the surface of the earth. 2. The earth's surface then returns long- wave energy into the atmosphere. but this energy cannot easily pass out through the gases of the atmosphere. So some heat is retained in the atmosphere. 3. this is sometimes called the greenhouse effect because the glass of a greenhouse, like the atmosphere allows solar energy to pass through it and traps some of the energy inside.
Yes, the thermosphere plays a significant role in impacting Earth. It is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where many satellites orbit, and it absorbs harmful radiation from the sun, protecting us on the surface. Changes in the thermosphere can also impact radio signals and communication systems on Earth.
Adaptive Radiation :)
40,100 kilometers.
The diameter of the Earth from North Pole to South Pole is about 12713.6 kilometers. The distance through the Earth from opposite longitudes at the equator is farther due to the rotational "bulge", about 12776.2 kilometers.

In kilometres it's 628,300,000 km
The length of Earth's equator is about 38,622 kilometres.
Suggest you Google Earth that one.
6370 kilometres from surface to centre.
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
The distance through the Earth's center from the North Pole is approximately 12,742 kilometers.
The Earth is 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles from the Sun!
the sun emits many gases through the time spae of one year. radiation is just one of them. in one month, the sun emits 44888000900 kg of radiation gas, obviously slowly killing itself.
Well. still much.
