The answe to this question is false. Long-wave radiation from the ground does not pass through the atmosphere without absorption.
Radiation, convection and conduction
The kinds of electromagnetic radiation differ in the length of their waves, so the electromagnetic waves are absorbed, scattered, or reflected by the atmosphere and Earth's surface
it receives it from the sun in forms of electromagnetic waves / or radiation
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
No, coal puts large amounts of uranium oxides into the atmosphere through its stacks.
An absorption coefficient is a measure of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation as it passes through a specific substance - calculated as the fraction of incident radiation absorbed by unit mass or unit thickness.
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.
radiation
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more solar radiation (in the form of infra-red heat from the warmed earth) is absorbed in the atmosphere and prevented from escaping to space. It will not change the transmission of incoming solar radiation through the atmosphere.
Through absorption, refraction, and reflection.
radiation can occur through a vacuum
Radiation can pass easily through space. It is the earth's atmosphere that protects us from dangerous levels.
Heat in earth's atmosphere is transferred by: Radiation, Conduction, & Convection. ((:
