What else can I help you with?
What radiation warms the earths surface and the heat energy is radiated back into space?
Infrared radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface. This heat energy is then radiated back into space as longwave infrared radiation. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
Which form of electromagnetic energy is radiated from the earths surface with the greatest intensity?
infared
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
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
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 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!
What effect occurs as solar radiation is absorbed by the Earths surface and re-radiated into the atmosphere where it gets trapped and warms the Earth?
The effect that occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated into the atmosphere, where it gets trapped, is known as the greenhouse effect. This process involves greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, which warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
Is it true when heated Earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation?
Yes, of course. Basically, all the energy (or almost all of it) that the Earth absorbs from the Sun must be radiated back into space at some moment.
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 heats the earths surface and causes water to change states?
The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.
