Why is 90 percent of the universe plasma?
because of the sun and it's radiation which also heats up the inner core
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
The atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
How big is the sun's radiation zone?
The radiation zone is the "middle part" of the interior of the Sun. It is adjacent to the core. In this zone, energy travels between the atoms as photons of gamma radiation. Above the radiative zone is the convective zone. Scientists estimate that core energy takes as long as 170,000 years to travel through the dense matter of the radiative zone.According to NASA, the Sun's radiative zone begins about 108,125 miles from the center of the Sun and ends about 302,750 miles from the center of the sun. So the radiative zone makes up 32 percent of the Sun's volume and 48 percent of its mass.The exterior of the Sun, where radiation again occurs, is called the photosphere. In some larger stars, the outer layer is radiative and is substantially thicker.
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in?
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in a spectral region. The spectral region the sun's radiation emits to is the visible region of the spectrum.
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
It is about 50% of the sun radiation
What is 99 percent of the radiation Earth receives from the Sun?
its ultra violet
Earth has a what of about 30 percent reflecting much of the sun's radiation back into space?
Albedo.
What percent of the suns heat can can clouds absorb on a cloudy day?
About 6% of the shortwave energy that comes from the sun is actually absorbed by clouds on a cloudy day.
Why is 90 percent of the universe plasma?
because of the sun and it's radiation which also heats up the inner core
How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun emit most energy?
The sun's radiation comes as 45 percent visible light. 40 percent infared, and the remainder as Ultraviolet. This is why the Sun is damaging to our eyes as well as skin while giving us the light we need.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
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.
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
The atmosphere and clouds directly absorb about20 percent of the solar radiation that strikes earth How does the sun indirectly warm the atmosphere?
Earth's land and sea absorb solar radiation, then reradiate it to the air
What atmosphere filters out 95 percent of UV radiation?
The ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere filters out about 95 percent of UV radiation from the sun. However, it is important to note that some UV radiation still reaches the Earth's surface, especially in areas where the ozone layer is depleted.
