The sun's energy travels by electromagnetic bands. true or false?

True. The Sun's energy is primarily transmitted through electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation.


Does the earth or the sun emit more infrared radiation?

The Earth emits more infrared radiation than the Sun. The Sun emits mostly visible light and ultraviolet radiation, while the Earth's surface absorbs this energy and reradiates it as infrared radiation due to its lower temperature.


After radiation is true that you can not be exposed to sun?

Yes for a long while. Use high factor sun cream to protect if exposed


Is it true that an oxygen form present in the ozone layer filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun?

yes


Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?

No, the heat from the sun reaches Earth through radiation, not convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water.


How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?

The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.


Why can both the sun and earth be treated as blackbodies?

Both the sun and earth can be treated as blackbodies because they absorb and emit radiation at all wavelengths. A blackbody is an idealized object that absorbs all incoming radiation and emits radiation based on its temperature, which is true for both the sun and earth to a certain extent.


Is it true or false that transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter?

True. Transfer of thermal energy by radiation does not require matter because it occurs through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, which can travel through vacuum where there is no matter. This form of energy transfer is how heat from the sun reaches Earth.


Is it true that infrared radiation cannot be seen but it can be felt as heat?

Yes, that is correct. Infrared radiation has wavelengths longer than visible light, making it invisible to the human eye. However, our skin can detect infrared radiation as heat, which is why we can feel it when we stand near sources of infrared radiation, such as a fire or a heater.


Is the sun drying wet on a sidewalk radiation?

Yes, the sun drying wet on a sidewalk is a form of radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation, including infrared radiation, which can heat and evaporate water on the sidewalk.


What is heat transfer from the sun called?

Heat transfer from the sun is called radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that carries heat to Earth.


How is the distance between the earth and the sun influencing the solar radiation?

It doesn't. The sun's radiation is produced by the sun and the earth has nothing to do with it.
