If Earth's net radiation budget became unbalanced, it could lead to changes in the planet's temperature and climate. If incoming solar radiation exceeds outgoing heat radiation, Earth would warm, potentially causing global warming and climate change. Conversely, if outgoing heat radiation exceeds incoming solar radiation, Earth would cool, possibly leading to a global cooling event.
What else can I help you with?
Is the earths radiation shortwave or longwave?
Earth's radiation is primarily longwave. Shortwave radiation from the sun enters the Earth's atmosphere, where some is absorbed and re-radiated as longwave radiation. This longwave radiation is what is emitted back out into space.
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.
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.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No, Earth's surface primarily radiates energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation, not ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation is a higher-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that is primarily absorbed by the ozone layer in the stratosphere.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
How does most of the heat in the earths atmosphere move from place to place?
Convectionheat moves by, radiation(:
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.
What is the Aurora Borcalis?
the northen lights caused by the earths radiation causing the sun to flare due to radiation
What is a term for earths radiation belts?
The Van Allen belts
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
What does the earths energy budget examine?
solar energy absorbed by the sun
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
Is the earths radiation shortwave or longwave?
Earth's radiation is primarily longwave. Shortwave radiation from the sun enters the Earth's atmosphere, where some is absorbed and re-radiated as longwave radiation. This longwave radiation is what is emitted back out into space.
