Light, Heat and Ultraviolet Radiation.
Without the Sun's light we will probably see nothing but artificial lightning and the stars.
Without heat the earth will be a few degrees above absolute zero and life on earth would be wiped out.
Tiny amounts of Ultraviolet Radiation is essential for our bodies to make Vitamin D.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you put a water in a container outside in the sun?
Water left in a container outside in the sun heats up due to solar radiation. This can be useful for warm showers, laundry, or general cleaning.
Which forms of radiation emitted from the sun are useful?
Well, for a start there is the infrared radiation that comes from the sun. This type of radiation is responsible for the heat we feel when exposed to the sun's light, and it keeps the earth warm, which is vital for life. It can also be used to generate electricity with solar panels.The visible light emitted from the sun is also a useful from of radiation. This is extremely important as it is because of this that we can see around us. Virtually all our light comes from the sun. Plants depend upon it for photosynthesis, the main way in which carbon dioxide is removed from the air. The uses of the sun's light are endless.Aside from infrared and visible light, there is also the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that the sun beams towards us. This type of radiation is more of a mixed blessing however. While it does induce the production of vitamin D in our bodies as well as tan the skin (which some consider fashionable) it can also harm the cells that make up our skin and cause mutations in our DNA which can lead to cancer. This can easily be avoided by ensuring that we do not overexpose ourselves to the sun. It is quite common to be a little sunburned if we spend a lot of time in the sun but it is still important to remember that there is always a possible risk of harm from UV. Many people decide to wear sun cream (which absorbs and reflects the UV) to minimise the risks.
Radiation is produced by what?
The Sun
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 device is not useful for measuring radiation?
For example a thermometer.
Why is radiant energy useful to us?
radiant energy is important to us because the sun is emittating radiation to the earth, through space
Why do you put a water in a container outside in the sun?
Water left in a container outside in the sun heats up due to solar radiation. This can be useful for warm showers, laundry, or general cleaning.
How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
Can nuclear radiation be useful?
Certainly.
Is the sun drying wet on a sidewalk radiation?
Yes, the sun drying wet on a sidewalk is a form of radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation, including infrared radiation, which can heat and evaporate water on the sidewalk.
What is heat transfer from the sun called?
Heat transfer from the sun is called radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that carries heat to Earth.

How is the distance between the earth and the sun influencing the solar radiation?
It doesn't. The sun's radiation is produced by the sun and the earth has nothing to do with it.
Which are the harmfull radiation from the sun?
Ultra-violet radiation.
Is it radiation that when the sun makes you warm?
it is the suns radiation
What is the major direct source of heat in the troposphere?
The major direct source of heat in the troposphere is the sun. Solar radiation warms the Earth's surface, which then heats the air above it through conduction, convection, and radiation. This process creates temperature variations that drive weather patterns and atmospheric circulation.
What radiation from the sun is stopped by the ozone layer?
The radiation of sun that is stopped by ozone layer is UV. This radiation can cause cataract and skin cancer.
