When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
What are the two principle absorbers of radiation emitted by earth's suface?
carbon dioxide and water vapor
What process when light is emitted in all directions?
Scattering. The location inside the Earth where an earthquake begins is called the focus.
What is the natural emitted frequency (Fe) of the Earth?
There is no such (single) frequency. The Earth is not a resonator, but it does vibrate mechanically (seismic and tidal) and emit electromagnetic radiation at many different frequencies.
What process occurs when light is emitted in directions?
Scattering. The location inside the Earth where an earthquake begins is called the focus.
Where is the mistake in this sentence The rings of Saturn are so distant to be seen from Earth without a telescope?
The rings of Saturn are so distant to be seen from Earth without a telescope?Correct grammar would be either:The rings of Saturn are too distant to be seen from Earth without a telescope.The rings of Saturn are so distant,they cannot be seen from Earth without a telescope.
What is wrong in this sentence The rings of Saturn are so distant to be seen from Earth without a telescope?
from earth, withouth a telescope.
Four of Jupiters satellites can be seen from Earth using a telescope What makes these satellites visible?
light emitted by the satellites
What Instrument used for seeing stars and planets is?
Telescope
What instrument was used by Galileo to see craters on the moon for the first time?
Note that Galileo did not invent the telescope. He was, however, the first person to use a telescope to examine the heavens. Previously, telescopes had only been used to look at distant locations here on Earth.
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
What is the different between a telescope and a microscope?
A telescope is used to enable people to see very distant things (typically these distant things are astronomical in nature, although telescopes are sometimes used to view things on Earth as well) and microscopes are used to enable people to see very small things, such as bacteria.
How do you watch weather from space?
There are weather sattellites that orbit the Earth that can detect reflected radiation, emitted radiation, or radiation reflected only by water vapour as well as satellites that emit microwave radiation to detect the clouds or precipitation.
What is the telescope that is in orbit around the earth?
The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
What have they found out by using the hubble telescope?
Asteroids that might hit the Earth , a new planet in the solar system, and distant planets that humans might be able to live on, ect.
Can the Hubble Space Telescope detect radio waves?
I do not believe that the Hubble is equipped for radio astronomy. Certainly it can "detect" radio waves; it is remote-controlled by radio. But most radio astronomy is done with earth-based dish antennas.
Is a telescope on a satellite made to detect x-rays?
Some of them are. Also, to detect other radiation that doesn't reach Earth, or hardly reaches it - like infrared for example.Some of them are.
