What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation causes sun burn?
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
Radiation from the sun provides what for the water cycle?
energy
What happens when solar radiation leaves the sun?
Assuming you mean electromagnetic radiation, once it leaves the Sun it will go outwards at the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second).
What helps control how much of the sun radiation is absorbed to earth?
The ozone layer.The atmosphere.
If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?
The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0. At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
Approximately 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed by Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What is the greenhouse gas that absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation?
No greenhouse gas absorbs the sun's incoming shortwave radiation. All the greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, CFCs etc) absorb the outgoing longwave infrared radiation from the warmed surface of the earth.
Where is the sun's incoming solar radiation the strongest?
The strongest is in the tropics, where the sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface and about the same duration year-round.
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
Why can both the sun and earth be treated as blackbodies?
Both the sun and earth can be treated as blackbodies because they absorb and emit radiation at all wavelengths. A blackbody is an idealized object that absorbs all incoming radiation and emits radiation based on its temperature, which is true for both the sun and earth to a certain extent.
What is the gas that absorbs much of the incoming ultraviolet radiation from the earths sun?
Ozone is the gas. This is present as ozone layer.
What is difference between insolation and radiation?
Radiation is the general term describing the type of energy transfer - insolation means incoming solar radiation, referring specifically to that which comes from the sun to the earth.
What is the earth's net radiant energy?
Radiant energy is the energy that is left behind from the incoming radiation. net radiation= incoming radiation-outgoing radiation
How much radiation does the sun produce?
44888000900 kg of radiation gas, obviously slowly killing itself.
What major service is provided by the ozone layer in the stratosphere?
The ozone layer blocks some of the incoming ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
What Is the difference between all incoming radiation and all outgoing radiation?
The difference between all incoming radiation and all outgoing radiation is known as the net radiation balance. When incoming radiation exceeds outgoing radiation, the Earth's surface and atmosphere warm up, potentially leading to global warming. Conversely, if outgoing radiation exceeds incoming radiation, the Earth cools down, which can have implications for climate and weather patterns.
What is the Incoming radiation minus outgoing radiation?
Incoming radiation minus outgoing radiation is known as the net radiation balance. This balance determines the Earth's energy budget, with excess incoming radiation leading to warming of the planet, while excess outgoing radiation results in cooling. The net radiation balance is a key factor in understanding the Earth's climate system.
