To get a different view, astronomer Giovanna Tinetti and her colleagues at the European Space Agency and University College London focused instead on the light grazing the atmosphere of HD 189733 b.

Not exact matches

Note: If using a dark colored pan, reduce the oven temperature, stated in the recipe, by 25 degrees F. (This is because dark colored pans absorb more of the energy coming from the oven walls so they become hotter and transmit heat faster than light colored pans.)

The laser generates a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed in a stoichiometric fashion by glucose molecules — the more glucose molecules; the more photons are absorbed.

Solar cells, for example, would be far more efficient if they reflected less light and absorbed more of it as energy.

Geoengineering schemes use two ways to offset this process: They either remove the gases from the atmosphere, allowing more radiation to exit, or deflect a portion of the sun's light — about 1.8 percent should do the trick — reducing the amount of radiation absorbed by the earth.
