Sentences with phrase «less radiation through»

Not exact matches

Few realize that our entire solar system is swinging through space passing through areas of greater or lesser energy fields from cosmic particles and background radiation.

For the same reason, infrared astronomy enables researchers to observe cosmic objects through large clouds of interstellar dust that scatter infrared radiation substantially less than visible light.

Few realize that our entire solar system is swinging through space passing through areas of greater or lesser energy fields from cosmic particles and background radiation.

In fact, because over 90 % of the solar radiation passes through the thin transparent surface layer of the oceans, you should use less than 10 % of that 161W / m ^ 2 in Stefan - Boltzmann calculations.

Urban areas are also less adept at getting rid of heat through thermal radiation because they produce a greater volume of emissions that trap the heat.

No, less than 2.5 % of the solar radiation gets through the Venus atmosphere, and only 1W / m ^ 2 gets through at the poles.

I would be looking to know what ranges of radiation the sun has increased by and whether some bands had decreased, less solar wind perhaps, allowing more cosmic days through.

I do not believe that the surface at altitude receives less radiation than at sea level, in fact it should receive more because it passes through less atmosphere.

Result: less radiation gets through, ergo, more CO2 impedes radiation.

But the dry air column holds a lot less energy so when the sun goes down and the surface is no longer heating it through conduction and radiation the column cools rapidly hence the great diurnal temperature range of the desert and the almost total lack of diurnal temperature change over the ocean.

It stands to reason that if a human optimum emites 100w / m2 of radiation through a duration, that earth is emitting much less per square metre.

Changes in visible and infrared solar radiation alter the surface temperature by simple heating; other parts of the spectrum can also affect climate, through paths that are less direct.

He sent infrared radiation through a tube filled with carbon dioxide, containing somewhat less gas in total then would be found in a column of air reaching to the top of the atmosphere.

To summarize; «As height is gained each square meter of air will contain less «energy per molecule» but will proportionately let more radiation through from below.

That happens partly through «new» absorption of radiation that more or less used to escape directly from the surface, as well as absorption and re-emission of radiation that used to get absorbed and re-emitted at lower layers, but now (at higher CO2) does so at higher layers.
