Radiation rain is a phenomenon where radioactive particles are carried by rainwater from the atmosphere to the ground. This can occur after a nuclear incident or explosion, leading to radioactive contamination of the environment. It poses significant health risks to living organisms exposed to the contaminated rainwater.

Which biome has the highest net radiation budget value?

It's actually the rain forest because that is the biome closest to the equator, meaning that it has a net radiation budget surplus (more solar radiation is absorbed than reflected/re-emitted as infrared radiation), unlike the biomes closer to the poles which will have a net radiation budget deficit (more infrared radiation is re-emitted/reflected than solar radiation that is absorbed).

What particles rain down continuously on the atmosphere of the Earth?

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space that continuously rain down on the Earth's atmosphere. They originate from sources such as supernovae, black holes, and other cosmic events. These particles can interact with the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the production of secondary particles and radiation.

Which radiation is most common on earth?

The most common radiation on Earth is non-ionizing radiation from the sun, such as visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. These forms of radiation are generally low in energy and do not have enough power to ionize atoms or molecules.

How does nuclear radiation cause acid rain?

It doesn't!


Why does Black Rain fall in the aftermath of dropping an atomic bomb?

Black rain spreads the radiation after an atomic bomb. The mushroom cloud puts radiation in the atmosphere, which becomes the black rain. Black rain is the main cause for widspread cancers and other sicknesses after an atomic bomb.


What was acid rain during the holocaust?

when they had nucleaar bombs, and after it would rain acid because of the left over radiation in the air.


Will the radiation from Japan's nuclear plant affect the rain?

It won't affect the amount of rain, but the rain water could be slightly radioactive. I very much doubt if it would present a real risk to health etc, but of course there is a certain hysteria whenever radiation is involved in the public mind.


Why do UV rays penetrate rain clouds?

UV rays have shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to visible light and infrared radiation, allowing them to penetrate rain clouds more easily. Rain clouds may scatter and absorb some of the UV radiation, but a significant portion can still pass through due to their high energy levels.


Does a radar gun work in the rain?

I would assume so. Radar is just another form of electromagnetic radiation, just like light. I would infer that if you can see through the rain (that's light), then other forms of electromagnetic radiation (such as radar) can also pass through the rain. Of Course, I would also assume that the range and effectiveness of the radar gun would be reduced at least a small bit. As long as the radar is functional normal rain water will not have any effect on it working to detect speed.

How has human activity that has changed the biosphere?

Humans have changed the biosphere in some negative ways. These ways include pollution, acid rain, radiation, deforestation, and urbanization.
