Which type of energy is it when we feel heat from the sun?

Radiant energy (light) - the heat you feel is "infra red" radiation. Your eyes can not see this wavelength of light but there are sensors (thermal sensors) in your skin that can feel it.


Does the sun give off short or long wavelengths?

The sun gives off a range of wavelengths, including both short and long wavelengths. The majority of the sun's energy is in the form of visible light, which falls in the mid-range of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the sun also emits shorter wavelength ultraviolet radiation and longer wavelength infrared radiation.


The reason the Sun's radiant energy is of shorter wavelengths than the Earth's is because the Sun?

is a much hotter object compared to Earth, so it emits higher-energy, shorter-wavelength radiation in the form of visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared. Earth, being cooler, emits longer-wavelength radiation in the form of infrared.


What is the wavelength of maximum intensity in sunlight?

The wavelength of maximum intensity in sunlight is around 500 nm, which is in the green portion of the visible spectrum. This wavelength corresponds to the peak of the solar radiation spectrum and is where the sun emits the most energy.


What type of radiation is the most prevalent in the radiation zone?

In the radiation zone of the Sun, electromagnetic radiation (primarily in the form of photons) is the most prevalent type of radiation. This radiation is produced by nuclear reactions in the core of the Sun and gradually makes its way towards the surface through the radiation zone.

What type of radiation causes sun burn?

UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.


Which form of radition form the sun has the shortest wavelength?

The sun produces several types of radiation. However, the type of radiation which comes from the sun with the shortest wave length is known as a gamma ray.


Which form of radiation from the sun has the longest wavelenght?

The answer is scattering!


Why does the Earth emit longer wave radiation than the Sun?

The Earth emits longer wavelength infrared radiation because it absorbs sunlight and re-radiates it as heat. The Sun, on the other hand, emits shorter wavelength radiation in the form of visible light because it is much hotter than the Earth.

What wavelength of radiation is reradiated by the Earth upward?

The Earth reradiates longwave infrared radiation, with a peak wavelength around 10 micrometers. This is due to the Earth's relatively cool temperature compared to the Sun, causing it to emit radiation in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What wavelength of maximum intensity does the Sun emit?

The Sun emits light in a broad range of wavelengths, peaking in the visible spectrum around 500 nanometers, which is green light. This peak intensity is a result of the Sun's temperature, which determines its blackbody radiation curve.


What type of electomagnetic radiation do you use in sun beds?

Ultraviolet radiation


What type of radiation causes sun tan?

What best describes the primary wavelength of radiation emitted by Earth's surface?

they are longer than those emitted by the sun.
