They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).

What is a solid aerosol?

A solid aerosol is a dispersion system where solid particles are suspended in a gas. These solid particles can range in size from nanometers to micrometers. Solid aerosols have various applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.


What is the difference between radiation and insolation?

Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. Insolation specifically refers to the amount of solar radiation received by a specific area, typically measured over a given period of time. In essence, insolation is a subset of radiation, focusing solely on solar energy reaching the Earth's surface.


Do the number of particles in an object affect its thermal energy but not its temperature?

Yes, the number of particles in an object does affect its thermal energy, as thermal energy is directly proportional to the number of particles. However, the number of particles does not affect its temperature, as temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.


Which two factors affect the kinetic energy of the particles?

Temperature and mass of the particles affect the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. Similarly, particles with higher mass have greater kinetic energy compared to particles with lower mass at the same temperature.


Does the size of the particles of solute affect the solubility of the substance?

The size of the particles of solute do not affect the solubility of a substance, which is determined by its chemical composition, but it does affect how quickly it dissolves. The smaller the particles of the solute, the faster it will dissolve.

What is an aerosol?

An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Aerosols can be natural, like sea spray or volcanic ash, or anthropogenic, like pollution from cars or aerosol sprays. Aerosols play a role in climate, air quality, and health.


Is helium atom an aersol?

No, a helium atom is not an aerosol. An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas. Helium, on the other hand, is a noble gas that exists as a single atom and is not a suspension of particles in a gas.

An aerosol is a colloidal liquid gas solid suspended in a?

An aerosol is a colloidal suspension of fine particles (solid or liquid) in a gas.


What are the example of aerosol?

As stated elsewhere on this site, an aerosol is a suspension of particles within a gas. A good example of a aerosol is smog, cigarette fumes or any type of dust cloud. Our everyday air has thousands of particles suspended in it. Many of these are man-made, though typically they are naturally present.


Is aerosol deodorant being sprayed a suspension?

Aerosol is somewhat of a blanket term referring to a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles. Aerosol can even be things such as smoke, smog and air pollution. Basically, in the context of the can, the aerosol is the delivery method of the solution being suspended, whether it's a deodorant or a lubricant.


What are aerosol colloids?

A colloid refers (it seems) chiefly to a liquid. As an aerosol is defined as a particulate (solid or liquid) suspended within a gas, this it isn't a relevant question with regards aerosol science. However colloids do exist within an aerosol spray, however once they are dispensed they become an aerosol.


What is solid aerosol?

The constituent part of a solid aerosol is a particle, as opposed to a droplet in a "liquid" based aerosol. By strictest definition a solid aerosol cannot exist; as an aerosol is a suspension of droplets or particles in a gaseous medium.


What are examples of liquid aerosol?

As stated elsewhere on this site, an aerosol is a suspension of particles within a gas. A good example of a aerosol is smog, cigarette fumes or any type of dust cloud. Our everyday air has thousands of particles suspended in it. Many of these are man-made, though typically they are naturally present.
