Any object that can specifically absorb and emit radiation (in the form of, say, infrared radiation), is called a selective absorbers.
An example is: Snow. It is a good absorber of infrared radiation but poor absorber of sunligh. Object that selectively absorb radiation at some wavelength tend to radiate radiation at that same wavelength.
CO2 and water vapors are both very good absorber of infrared radiation but at the same time poor absorber of different forms of solar radiation that are visible to us.
What else can I help you with?
What two principle absorbers of radiation emitted by Earth's surface are carbon dioxide and?
Water vapor.
What are water vapor and carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere good absorbers of?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide are good absorbers of infrared radiation. They trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and helping to regulate the planet's temperature.
What are the two principle absorbers of radiation emitted by earth's suface?
The two main absorbers of radiation emitted by Earth's surface are water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate the Earth's temperature.
What do you call gases that are good absorbers of outgoing radiation?
Greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, etc.
Could carbon be called carbon dioxide?
No. Carbon dioxide contains oxygen as well as carbon.
What are carbon dioxide and methane good absorbers of?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are effective absorbers of infrared radiation, which contributes to their roles as greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. They absorb heat emitted from the Earth's surface, trapping it and leading to an increase in global temperatures. This process is a key factor in climate change, as it enhances the greenhouse effect.
Does carbon dioxide affect humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
How does carbon dioxide affects humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
What is it called when carbon dioxide is released?
The release of carbon dioxide is called carbon dioxide emissions. This occurs when carbon dioxide gas is released into the atmosphere from various sources such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
Do we breath carbon dioxide?
The air you breathe out contains the gas called carbon dioxide
What is the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere CALLED?
This is simple. It is "Plants".
What it is called when carbon dioxide moves into the leaves of plants?
The process by which carbon dioxide moves into the leaves of plants is called carbon dioxide diffusion. In this process, carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings on the underside of the leaves called stomata. Once inside the leaf, the carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates for the plant's energy needs.
