The answer depends on what the question is about. Some possible valid questions concern the fraction of solar radiation which:
- falls on the earth (as opposed to going in other directions)
- is blocked by the earth's magnetic field
- is blocked by the ozone layer
- is reflected by clouds
- is absorbed by the atmosphere
- is reflected by the surface
- is absorbed by the surface
- is useful to plants
- is in wavelengths shorter than ultra violet (UV)
- is in the UV range
- is in the visible range
- is in the infra red (IR) range
- is in wavelengths longer than IR.
I suggest that you spend just a little bit of time considering your question before posting it.

What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of the total radiation?
If you are given the "the total radiation" (e.g. 100 rads of radiation) and you are given another radiation level (e.g. 75 rads of radiation) and then you are asked: 'What is "the fraction of the total radiation?"', then you would answer "75/100".
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.
Is 0.1a equelivent fraction?
Every fraction is an equivalent fraction: each fraction in decimal form has an equivalent rational fraction as well as an equivalent percentage fraction.
The albedo of the earth's surface is the fraction of solar radiation that is?
reflected.
What fraction of solar radiation reflected by a surface is called?
this question needs to be stated more precisely. The solar fraction is a measurement of usage of the solar thermal energy by the solar thermal system installed.
The major portion of which form of solar radiation is absorbed as it passes through the atmosphere with only a tiny fraction of the original amount reaching the surface of the earth?
ground radiation
The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
How do animals get solar radiation by eating plants?
The plants absorbs the solar radiation and energy.
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
What solar radiation is the most powerful?
Ultraviolet radiation
What happens to most solar radiation when it reaches the surface of Earth what happens?
Most of the solar radiation is absorbed when it reaches the surface of the earth. Some of the solar radiation is also absorbed in the atmosphere.
