They are essentially the same thing. Solar radiation from the sun is made up of two components: (1) direct solar raidation; and (2) diffuse solar radiation. Global radiation refers to the sum of direct and diffuse fractions.
Both insolation and terrestrial radiation involve the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, with insolation being solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface and terrestrial radiation being the heat energy emitted by the Earth back into the atmosphere.
Insolation (incoming solar radiation) heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. The warm surface then emits terrestrial radiation (heat energy) back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this terrestrial radiation, leading to an increase in temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.
Insolation refers to solar radiation received by the Earth's surface, while terrestrial radiation refers to the heat energy emitted by the Earth's surface back into the atmosphere. Insolation provides the energy input that drives the Earth's climate system, while terrestrial radiation plays a role in heat exchange processes like cooling at night.
Terrestrial radiation is primarily composed of gamma rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation originates from naturally occurring radioactive elements present in the Earth's crust, such as uranium and thorium.
The form of radiation released by earth at night is gamma rays.

By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
The Earth emits terrestrial radiation constantly, but the amount of radiation emitted depends on the temperature of the Earth's surface. Warmer objects emit more radiation than cooler objects, so the Earth emits the most terrestrial radiation during the day when it is exposed to sunlight.
Cosmic radiation External terrestrial and internal radiation
Positive net radiation typically commences during daylight hours when the incoming solar radiation is higher than the outgoing terrestrial radiation. This generally occurs when the sun is up and shining on the Earth's surface.
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
Natural background radiation
Terrestrial radiation is primarily composed of gamma rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation originates from naturally occurring radioactive elements present in the Earth's crust, such as uranium and thorium.
Yes: the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are part of our own solar system.
