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%
What are examples of microwave waves?
Microwave waves are used in a microwave oven to heat food. They are also used as a communication transmission frequency for distances between 10-20 miles that you want to maintain a high signal strength, as they have a higher energy level than radio waves. i is dumb kill my mom plz and give me money phones
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by what?
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by clouds, the atmosphere and the surface of the earth.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%Source: (NASA)

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 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.
What keeps the earths core so hot?

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'.

What gas is 20 times better at collecting heat than carbon dioxide?
Methane blocks heat radiation twenty times more effectively per molecule than does carbon dioxide. Fortunately, atmospheric methane concentrations are very much lower than carbon dioxide.
