How big is the sun's radiation zone?
The radiation zone of the sun extends from about 70% to 20% of the sun's radius, which is approximately 500,000 kilometers. This zone is where energy generated through nuclear fusion in the core travels outward in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
This statement is incorrect. The atmosphere is heated primarily by the sun's radiation that enters the Earth's atmosphere. Some of this solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated as infrared radiation, which is partially trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing warming. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
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 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 long does it take for radiation from the sun to reach the earth?
Distance from the earth to the sun is about 93,000,000 miles. The speed of light is about 186,000 miles/second or about 8 minutes, 20 seconds.
What is 99 percent of the radiation Earth receives from the Sun?
its ultra violet
What percent of incoming radiation from the Sun is absorbed by Earth's surface?
Approximately 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed by Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
How big is the sun's radiation zone?
The radiation zone of the sun extends from about 70% to 20% of the sun's radius, which is approximately 500,000 kilometers. This zone is where energy generated through nuclear fusion in the core travels outward in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
How does this radiation travel and how long does it take to reach earth after leaving?
Radiation from the Sun travels to Earth in the form of electromagnetic waves. It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for this radiation to reach Earth after leaving the Sun.
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.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
This statement is incorrect. The atmosphere is heated primarily by the sun's radiation that enters the Earth's atmosphere. Some of this solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated as infrared radiation, which is partially trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing warming. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
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.
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 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.
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
