Sentences with phrase «emitted out to space»

The graph on the right shows the black body model for an Earth System at a mean temperature of 255 K, a temperature that results in the same 240 Watts / m ^ 2 being emitted out to Space.

7) Note that the two terms can only be cancelled out within the atmosphere since there is additionally a flow of energy coming in from the sun which is being transmitted through the atmosphere in parallel and emitted out to space at the same rate as it comes in.

Not exact matches

Out in space, their chemical bonds spin and flex enough to emit radio waves we can detect.

«Simply backing out of a parking space used to emit all manner of whirring and clunking, but no more.

Thus radiation emitted from below the TAU = 1 level gets mostly absorbed before it can get out to space.

Since the energy emitted goes like T ^ 4 power, the earth thus emits less energy back into space, which is why it has to warm (until it reaches a temperature when the earth is again emitting as much energy back out into space as it receives from the sun and so is back in equilibrium).

As I recall, it turns out that the reason why CO2 produces warming is that it effectively causes the energy emitted back out into space from the earth to be emitted from a higher average height in the atmosphere where the temperature T is colder (since the temperature generally drops with altitude through the troposphere).

In actuality the surface emits about 150 Watts per square meter (W / m2) more than goes out to space.

Stated more precisely, for an equilibrium state to occur, radiative energy out to space (reflected solar plus emitted longwave) must equal radiative energy in (incident solar).

CO2, emitting in the 600 - 700 wavenumber frequency, is coming out as if it were 220K, or -53 C. Where in the atmosphere is it -53 C, the lower stratosphere, the location where CO2 emits directly to space, cooling off the Earth, Without CO2 it is hard to imagine how the Earth would shed that extra heat.

For this reason, the shell will receive less W / sqm from Earth radiation than is emitted by the surface, because the radiation will spread out by the inverse square law just as sunlight gets less intense the further from the sun you get, and the shell will radiate more to space than back to Earth.

In these frequencies, no radiation is absorbed, no radiation is emitted, and here is where IR telescopes and microwave sounding satellites can look out to space, and down to the surface, respectively.

Since the steady - state temperature of the earth is determined by the balance between what it receives from the sun and what it emits back out into space, an IR - absorbing atmosphere will in fact cause the earth's steady - state temperature to be higher than it would be if the atmosphere did not absorb IR.

The greenhouse effect, by affecting the rate at which the earth emits radiation back out into space for a given surface temperature, causes the earth's temperature to warm in order to maintain radiative balance.

If you mean by «the atmosphere heats the earth» that the atmosphere causes the earth to be at a higher steady - state temperature than if all of the radiation that the earth emitted went back out into space, then yes, that is what I am claiming; however, it doesn't violate the 2nd Law because the heat still goes from the earth to the atmosphere.

Photons emitted from the core of the Sun take between 100,000 - 200,000 years to reach the surface and journey out into space.
