What happens to the greatest common factor of the cylinders' surface area if its radius is squared?
Nothing. The cylinder's surface area does not have a GCF.
What decimal is in between 0.5 and 0.6?
There are an infinite number of numbers in between any two numbers. In the given example, you could continually add a 1 to the end of 0.5 and barely scratch the surface of all of the possible numbers, but would still be appending 1's until the end of time without reaching 0.6. 0.5 0.51 0.511 0.5111 0.51111 0.511111 etc.
What is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface called?
It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off a particular surface called?
There is no particular term. This is because the reflectivity of a surface varies across the electromagnetic spectrum so a surface which reflects a large proportion of blue wavelengths in sunlight may or may not reflect a similar proportion of red wavelengths.
What percent of the earth's surface is covered by people?
The Earth's surface is covered by human 99%. add. the above seems not to consider the significant desert areas in the major continents (except Europe!), and Antarctica.
Which factor keeps the greatest percentage of insolation from reaching the Earth's surface on cloudy days?
reflection by cloud droplets
Which letter represents the surface that most likely absorbs the greatest amount of insolation?
C
What is intercepted solar?
intercepted solar or intercepted insolation are part of the sun rays or power that was prevented to reaching solar panel on earth surface, a) dust b) humidity c) cloud d) rain. these factors either disperse or absorb the solar insolation thereby intercepting it reaching the earth surface or the panel.
What has the lowest insolation?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. Polar regions have the lowest insolation.
Describe the relationship between the angle of insolation and the rate of heating a surface.?
The angle of insolation into a surface is largest when the surface directly faces the Sun. That coincides with the temperature rising. So the angle of insolation goes up as the temperature goes up.
If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?
increases
What is the definition for intensity of insolation?
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
Does a rough black surface get the most insolation?
It absorbs the most, yes.
What is the most insolation striking a smooth light colored solid surface?
reflected.
How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?
vv
What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION
Duration of insolation?
The period of time that a surface receives solar energy. The number of daylight hours.
