What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
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
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
How much radiation is absorbed by the earths surface?
The amount of radiation absorbed by the Earth's surface varies depending on factors such as location, time of day, and cloud cover. On average, about half of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface, where it is then transformed into heat energy.
Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?
Most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere, which acts as a protective shield. Only a small amount of UV radiation reaches the Earth's surface, and this limited exposure is important for processes like vitamin D synthesis in humans, but excessive UV radiation can be harmful.
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!
How does the presence of oxygen in our atmosphere help reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earths surface?
Oxygen in the atmosphere helps to absorb and scatter incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This process occurs in the stratosphere, where oxygen molecules break apart the incoming UV radiation. This absorption and scattering of UV radiation by oxygen prevent a large amount of harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface.
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 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.
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
The direct rays of the sun are striking the earths surface at twenty three and a half degrees north what is the date?
July 27th
