Any object with a temperature above absolute zero - in other words, basically any object - will radiate heat. The amount of heat radiated is roughly proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature. Listing examples is rather boring; just think of any object. A person, a house, planet Earth, the Sun, a tree, etc.

Why is bioluminescence called cold light?

Bioluminescence is called cold light because less than 20% of the light generates thermal radiation, or to say in simpler terms, heat. So, the less thermal radiation there is, the colder it will be.


What is the difference between waves used in microwave ovens and nuclear radiation?

Both microwave radiation and nuclear electromagnetic radiation are members of the same species, but they're as different as babies are from elephants, to wit, microwaves are much, much less powerful than nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Microwave radiation, for instance, makes atoms shift their position (and magnetic fields) very, very quickly. Now the definition of heat is "movement," so the faster anything moves, the "hotter" we say it is. Ergo, something placed in a microwave-radiation-field becomes noticeably "hotter." But comparing microwave and nuclear electromagnetic radiation is like comparing a face-slap to a 20-ton BOMB. Nuclear radiation comes from atomic nuclei, so "nuclear radiation" can strike, penetrate, damage, and even destroy atoms in their path. Big difference, capiche? Huge.We left out the part about nuclear particulate radiation. There is no comparison there. Additionally, nuclear electromagnetic radiation is ionizing radiation while microwave radiation is not.


How much of the sun's energy is absorbed or reflected by clouds?

Yes, about 26% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space by the clouds and atmosphere.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%


How radiation from sun is different from that of earth?

Radiation emitted by the sun has a wide range of frequencies from infrared, to visible light, to ultra-violet. It even has small amounts of microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays. All this comes from the intense energy created in the sun's core. Radiation from the Earth is mostly (or maybe entirely) infrared radiation. This energy is of longer wavelength (lower energy) and comes from the heat emitted from the Earth as it is heated by the energy from the sun.


20) Radiation burns which cause delayed irreversible changes of the skin can be caused by high doses of what form of ionizing radiation?

High doses of ionizing gamma radiation can cause radiation burns that result in delayed and irreversible changes to the skin. These burns can lead to serious damage including tissue necrosis and long-term health effects.

What happens to the heat sun?

This isn't the best answer, but it starts with 100% radiation, 25% is reflected back by clouds and other particles, 20% is absorbed by particles in the atmosphere, 50% of radiation reaches and is absorbed by Earth's surface, and 5% of radiation from the sun is reflected by land and sea surface.

Can any of the three forms of radiation be seen or felt by humans?

Humans are very sensitive to physical vibrations in material media in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 KHz, known as 'sound'.Humans are also very sensitive to electromagnetic energy with wavelengths between roughly 350 to 800 nanometers, known as 'light'.Human skin is also sensitive to electromagnetic radiation with somewhat longer wavelengths than visible light, known as 'infrared' radiation, or 'heat'.
