The primary wavelengths of radiation emitted by earths surface are what?
The primary wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth's surface are in the thermal infrared range between 8 and 14 micrometers. This radiation is also known as longwave radiation and is a key component of Earth's energy balance.
What is the energy exchange between space the atmosphere and earths surface produce?
The energy exchange between space, the atmosphere, and Earth's surface produces a balance of incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation. Solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, which then emits thermal radiation back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this thermal radiation, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
How much radiation is absorbed by the earths surface?
The amount of radiation absorbed by the Earth's surface varies depending on factors such as location, time of day, and cloud cover. On average, about half of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface, where it is then transformed into heat energy.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation

What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
What is an earthquake that may be far below the earths surface?
it is called the interior
What is the energy exchange between space the atmosphere and earths surface produce?
The energy exchange between space, the atmosphere, and Earth's surface produces a balance of incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation. Solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, which then emits thermal radiation back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this thermal radiation, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
