As forms of high - energy radiation, both primary and secondary cosmic rays may affect living things by causing changes in their genes, which control heredity.

The steep drop off in high - energy activity for Sun - like and lower mass stars after 1 billion years is good news for the habitability of exoplanets orbiting these stellar bodies, as the atmospheres of these worlds would not have to endure as much radiation as previously believed.

Powerful lasers can therefore be used as microscopes to explore, during few nanoseconds, the high - energy radiation processes occurring in astrophysical objects from regions largely unresolved by the most powerful telescopes.

As a pulsar rotates, it emits high - energy radiation, similar to a lighthouse casting beams of light.

As the US space agency announced on Wednesday, the Van Allen space probes have detected a new, artificial bubble surrounding Earth that was the result of the interplay between very low frequency (VLF) radio communications and high - energy radiation particles.

Early Earth lacked an ozone layer to act as a shield against high - energy solar radiation, but microbes flourished by adapting to or finding other forms of protection from the higher ultraviolet radiation levels.

Radiation therapy (also referred to as radiation oncology) is a type of cancer treatment that involves the use of the use of high - energy radiation, primarily X-rays, to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

As a pulsar rotates, it emits high - energy radiation, similar to lighthouse casting beams of light.

synchrotron radiation The term given to the high - energy radiation emitted as charged particles, such as electrons, accelerate to nearly the speed of light while traveling in a curved path.

But pulsars emit gamma rays, and scientists such as KIPAC's Roger Romani can study these to measure their rotation and understand how high - energy radiation is generated in their intense magnetic fields.

[9] Any intact lava tube on the Moon could serve as a shelter from the severe environment of the lunar surface, with its frequent meteorite impacts, high - energy ultraviolet radiation and energetic particles, and extreme diurnal temperature variations.

As the atmospheric opacity is increased (e.g., 2xCO2), the physical location of the TAU = 1 level will rise to a higher altitude, but the outgoing flux will still come from the TAU = 1 level since radiation doesn't care about the geometric scale), and the TAU = 1 level will still correspond to the same temperature (since the solar input energy is unchanged).

What I meant was that Planck radiation increases with body or amb ient temperature, but higher temperature, per the Boltzmann distribution, makes it more probable that rotation, vibration, and / or electronic levels will be excited, and therefore less likely to emit relaxation energy, though as you point out this may not be exactly what happens physically — emission radiation is more flat than anything with increasing temperatures.

It does seem at first glance that a warm troposphere would warm the stratosphere, but the explanation that more of the earth - sourced infrared radiation is absorbed lower in the the troposphere by higher levels of CO2 makes sense if one thinks about the thermodynamic losses involved in the CO2 re-radiation processes; some of the earth - sourced infrared is transformed into kinetic energy and only a fraction is reradiated as more infrared radiation (if I'm understanding correctly).

All the descriptions of the evaporative process that I have seen so far concern themselves just with the evaporative and precipitation aspects as part of the hydrological cycle and ignore the condensation part in so far as it releases heat energy higher in the atmosphere for faster radiation to space.

The energy released now heats the gas till it becomes an ionised plasma due to the high Temperature, the escape of this centraally generated energy to the suface of the «cloud», now a proto star will eventually stop the collapse as the outer layers also heat, and the outer plasma will become opaque to the EM radiation generted at the million degree buring interface.

Since atmospheric WV is expected to increase as a result of higher temperatures, the «WV - enhanced» greenhouse effect should cause some of the solar radiation that would otherwise reach the Earth's surface (in the absence of the enhanced GH effect) to be absorbed in the atmosphere, where that energy can perhaps be more easily lost to space (the complexity of the climate system permitting).

When temperatures rise there may be more water vapor evaporated into the Atmosphere and that may result in more clouds and, if clouds have a net cooling effect (as I think they do) that may reduce the rate of incoming shortwave radiation and thus reduce incoming energy rates such that the temperatures will not rise as high.

It might help you if you had a few concepds in mind too when considering this subject, like «space» is the big energy «sink» with old sol (and the internal heat generating processes (including nuclear) of the earth) as sources... any mechanism that results in a delay of energy leaving earth, such as a «bounce - back» or a re-rad of energy (like back radiation) certainly is going to increase the «energy flux» in the system, and this in any way you want to frame the argument translates to a «higher» energy state, and a higher so - called temperature» (movement in matter, velocity of air molecules or oscillations in certain «resonant molecules) as well.

Likewise, the emission of CO2 within its absorption bands is just as effective as its interception, therefore this energy is partitioned throughout the atmosphere and radiated back to earth in its majority (because the escape of energy through the optically thick higher levels of the atmosphere reduces the flux, whereas the earth is still optically close by and a ready recipient of IR radiation.

The (high microwave especially) energy within IrR will not produce «sun burn» (a mild radiation burn from UV - A and UV - B) but would induct (interact to produce) too much intrinsic «heat» (kinetic energy) in outer cellular structures, stopping internal cellular processes, killing those cells, and most likely preventing the formation of «life as we know it» (bio-forming).
