Visible means that you can see it.
All the light from the sun that you can see is the visible solar radiation.
The sunlight is seen as white light, but it is made of all the colors.
A prism or a rainbow breaks the white light apart into all the colors that it is made of.
An example of invisible solar radiation (you can't see it) is the ultraviolet light that gives you a tan or sun burn.
Another type of invisible solar radiation is infrared light that you feel as the warmth of the sun.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it not completely accurate to describe the energy coming from the sun as visible radiation?
Mainly because not all of it is visible.
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Three forms of radiation from the sun are visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared light. These different forms of radiation have varying wavelengths and energy levels that interact with the Earth's atmosphere and surface in different ways.
Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
Does the earth or the sun emit more infrared radiation?
The Earth emits more infrared radiation than the Sun. The Sun emits mostly visible light and ultraviolet radiation, while the Earth's surface absorbs this energy and reradiates it as infrared radiation due to its lower temperature.
What is the only way that energy from the sun can travel to the earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
The majority of the sun's radiation output occurs as?
The majority of the sun's radiation output occurs as visible light. This visible light is what we see and feel as sunlight.
What three forms of radiation are from the sun?
The three forms of radiation from the sun are visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. Visible light is responsible for the light we see, while infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation are not visible to the human eye but have important effects on Earth's climate and environment.
What are the three radiation that comes from the sun?
Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in?
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in the visible light spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can detect, making it the most intense and dominant type of radiation that reaches the Earth.
What type of radiation is the sun a source of?
The Sun is a source of all forms of electromagnetic radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. However, the greatest amount of radiation that the Sun produces is visible light.
What is meant by sun's UV rays?
The Sun produces all the electromagnetic radiation in the visible and near visible range. UV rays are near visible ultraviolet rays.
Why is it not completely accurate to describe the energy coming from the sun as visible radiation?
Mainly because not all of it is visible.
Does the sun radiate visible and invisible energy?
Yes, the sun radiates a wide range of energy, including visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. In addition to light, the sun also emits particles in the form of solar wind.
What is the surface of the sun which emits the radiation you can see?
The part of the Sun's surface that emits the radiation we can see is called the photosphere. It is the visible surface layer of the Sun and has a temperature of around 5,500 degrees Celsius. This is where most of the visible light and heat that we receive from the Sun originates.
What type of energy does the sun transmit to earth?
The sun transmits electromagnetic energy to the Earth, including visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.
What are three forms of radiation that come from the sun?
Three forms of radiation from the sun are visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared light. These different forms of radiation have varying wavelengths and energy levels that interact with the Earth's atmosphere and surface in different ways.
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.
