What is insolators?

Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. It is an abbreviation for "incoming solar radiation."the amount of sunlight that reaches a planet.


Which letter represents the surface that most likely absorbs the greatest amount of insolation?

C


How do aerosol particles affect insolation?

They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).


Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?

hmm. maybe you should pay attentin in school(:


The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?

Insolation


How does insolation change with increasing latitude?

Insolation is the amount of the Sun's energy reaching a unit surface area on Earth (for example energy per square metre). Insolation is reduced with increasing latitude, because of the angle at which the Sun's rays hit the surface. The changing angle at which the energy hits the surface means that the energy is spread over a larger area with increasing latitude, North or South. That's the main reason the poles are cold and the equator is hot. In the hemisphere where it's summer, the effect is not so extreme because of the Earth's axial tilt ("towards" the Sun, in that hemisphere). In the winter time at high latitudes the effect is very significant because the Earth is then "tilted away" from the Sun, in that hemisphere.


What is the technical term for the amount of warmth and light from the sun?

Insolation


What is beam depletion?

Atmospheric Beam DepletionIs the reduction in the amount of solar insolation as it travels through the atmosphere.when the solar angle is 90 degrees, the solar radiation passes through the atmosphere as directly as possible.


What factors in atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation received from the sun?

The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun

Can you get a suntan in 29 degrees Fahrenheit?

You can not only get a suntan, but a sunburn. That depends on the amount of sunlight received, not on the temperature.
