What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation

Ozone
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
What effect can a very large eruption have on earths climate?
It will cool the earth's surface as radiation from the sun is blocked from entering the atmosphere
Much of the sun radiation is reflected back into space by the earths what?
Much of the sun's radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's atmosphere, clouds, and surface. The atmosphere scatters and absorbs some solar energy, while clouds can reflect sunlight back into space. Additionally, surfaces like ice, snow, and water can also reflect sunlight, a phenomenon known as albedo. Together, these elements play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's temperature and climate.
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the earths surface. However about 6 percent of the solar radiation is blank by the earths surface?
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by the Earth's surface. However, about 6 percent of the solar radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface. This reflection occurs mainly from surfaces like ice, snow, and water, which have high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of incoming solar energy.
How does albedo affect the behavior of solar radiation reaching earths surface?
Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface. Surfaces with high albedo reflect more solar radiation back into space, which can cool the Earth's surface and lower temperatures. Surfaces with low albedo absorb more solar radiation, leading to warming of the Earth's surface.
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!
Does the earths atmosphere reflect the suns radiation back into space?
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
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.
Why don't all areas of earths's surface receive the same amount of radiation?
All areas don't have the same asorption and reflection areas. Ice covered areqs reflect radiation mores so than vegatation covered areas,etc. Water and land absorb and reflect differently. Cloud covered areas and cloudless areas get different radiation.
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
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
True or False On avereage clouds reflect more solar radiation back to space than the earths surface?
True. Clouds tend to have a high albedo, reflecting more solar radiation back to space compared to the Earth's surface. This phenomenon contributes to a cooling effect on Earth by reducing the amount of solar energy absorbed by the planet.
