What else can I help you with?
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
Is earth terrestrial or gasous?
The Earth is terrestrial rather than gaseous. There are several planets in the solar system that are considered to be gaseous but the Earth and Mars and even Pluto are terrestrial.
Which terrestrial planet is farthest away from the sun?
Mars is the farthest terrestrial planet from the Sun.
Which gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
Jupiter and Saturn have more moons than the terrestrial planets. Jupiter has over 80 moons, while Saturn has over 80 confirmed moons as well. This is far more than the terrestrial planets in our solar system, such as Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, which have few or no natural satellites.
What absorbs the most solar radiation sand forest fresh snow or grassy field?
Fresh snow absorbs the least solar radiation compared to sand and a grassy field, as it reflects a significant portion of sunlight due to its high albedo. Sand absorbs more solar radiation than snow but less than a grassy field, which typically has a lower albedo and can absorb more heat. Therefore, a grassy field generally absorbs the most solar radiation among the three.
When does positive net radiation usually commence?
Positive net radiation typically commences during daylight hours when the incoming solar radiation is higher than the outgoing terrestrial radiation. This generally occurs when the sun is up and shining on the Earth's surface.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
The Earth emits terrestrial radiation constantly, but the amount of radiation emitted depends on the temperature of the Earth's surface. Warmer objects emit more radiation than cooler objects, so the Earth emits the most terrestrial radiation during the day when it is exposed to sunlight.
Is earth terrestrial or gasous?
The Earth is terrestrial rather than gaseous. There are several planets in the solar system that are considered to be gaseous but the Earth and Mars and even Pluto are terrestrial.
What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.
Why is the surface gravity of Pluto the weaker than that of the planets in our solar system?
Pluto has a weaker surface gravity than a planet because it has much less mass than a planet has.
What is the largest of the terrestrial planets in the solar system?
Venus and Earth are called "Sister planets" but if you've noticed Venus is bigger than Earth so therefore Venus is the biggest planet.
Why are solar tides weaker than the lunar tides much of the time?
Solar tides are usually hidden by lunar tides. The moon's gravity is greater than the sun's
Which terrestrial planet is farthest away from the sun?
Mars is the farthest terrestrial planet from the Sun.
How would you describe the wavelengths of incoming solar radiation compared to the wavelengths of reradiated heat?
The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
Which gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets?
Jupiter and Saturn have more moons than the terrestrial planets. Jupiter has over 80 moons, while Saturn has over 80 confirmed moons as well. This is far more than the terrestrial planets in our solar system, such as Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, which have few or no natural satellites.
Is Mercury gaseous or terrestrial?
Mercury is a terrestrial planet, meaning that it has a solid surface rather than being gaseous. It is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system, with a rocky composition similar to Earth's.
