How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
Where does energy on earth come from?
The vast majority of energy on earth comes from the sun. The remainder is received through solar flares or radiations from other stars.
What absorbs a portion of a radiation from the sun preventing it from reaching the earth's surface?
Generically the atmosphere absorbs portions of the Sun's radiation. In particular the Ozone layer absorbs a lot of UV radiations and of course water in the atmosphere (clouds) can blot out the Sun entirely.
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
What is the definition for intensity of insolation?
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
Which layer protects earth from dangerous ultra violet radiations of the sun?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It filters out these harmful radiations. It is present in stratosphere.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere protectsthe earth from these ultra violet radiations of the sun?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It filters out these harmful radiations. It is present in stratosphere.
Which layer of earth's atmosphere protests earth from dangerous ultraviolet radiations of sun?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It filters out these harmful radiations. It is present in stratosphere.
Which layer of the earth's atmosphere protects the earth from these dangerous ultra voilet radiations of the sun?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It filters out these harmful radiations. It is present in stratosphere.
What is the role of the o-zone layer?
The role of ozone layer is to block the harmful UV radiations from the sun. These are fatal rays for life on earth.
Why do we use sunclasses?
If it is sun glasses than we use it to save our eyes from the radiations of sun.
Which layer of atmosphere contains ozone that filters UV radiation?
Uv radiations are the radiations released from the sun. These radiations are fatal for life. Ozone layer protects us.
How does wood absorb energy from the sun?
heat transfor to radiations
Which layer of the earth protects t he earth from ultraviolent sun radiation?
Ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. It filters out these harmful radiations. It is present in stratosphere.
What layer of the earth's atmosphere protects the from these dangerous ultraviolet radiations of the sun?
Ozone layer protects the earth from the harmful ultra violet radiations of the sun. It is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere.
What layer of the earths atmosphere protects it from dangerous ultraviolet radiations of the sun?
Ozone layer protects the earth from the dangerous ultra violet radiations of the sun. It is present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere.
Do ozone filters out ultra violent light?
Ozone filters out UV-B radiations only. These are the highest frequency radiations of sun.
