UV-C and more energetic light, UV-B as ozone can intercept it, a tiny bit of blue by various things (including ozone), much of the infrared, and much of the microwave ranges are absorbed by the atmosphere.

Does infrared get through the earths atmosphere?

yes.


Which one of these wavelengths are blocked by the earths atmosphere infrared light gamma rays X rays visible light and microwave?

The Earth's atmosphere blocks most gamma rays and X-rays, which are high-energy wavelengths. While some infrared light and microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere, a significant portion of infrared light is absorbed by water vapor and carbon dioxide. Visible light, on the other hand, passes through the atmosphere relatively unimpeded.


What form of radiation heats up the Earths atmosphere?

infrared rays


When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?

When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."


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


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 does earths atmostsphere have the ability to block outgoing long wave infrared radiation after allowing incoming short waves pass through?

The earth's atmosphere/plasma acts as a reflector for long wave infrared radiation.


When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?

infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.


Can microwave rays get through the earths atmosphere?

Microwave rays can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as they are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is not absorbed or blocked by gases in the atmosphere. This is why microwave communication systems like satellites are able to transmit signals through the atmosphere.


What is a trapping of energy from the sun by earths atmosphere?

The trapping of energy from the sun by Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere to heat the Earth's surface, which then emits infrared radiation. Some of this infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, creating a warming effect that helps maintain Earth's temperature.


What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?

Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.


What does the earths surface emit?

The Earth's surface emits thermal radiation in the form of infrared energy. This radiation helps to maintain the planet's temperature balance by releasing heat absorbed during the day back into the atmosphere at night.
