Sentences with phrase «of radiant energy»

It is that interruption in the flow of radiant energy in and out which gives rise to a warming effect.

They subsequently contract on a time scale of tens of millions of years, the main source of radiant energy in this phase being the release of gravitational energy.

The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial.

The intensity and distribution of radiant energy within this range is governed by the temperature of the emitting surface.

The effect of additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is limited because CO2 absorbs only certain wavelengths of radiant energy.

The speed of release is again dictated by overall atmospheric density because greater density renders it less likely that the neighbouring molecules are cool enough for a release of radiant energy to occur.

In my view, it's less confusing simply to look at the transmission of radiant energy through the atmosphere.

The main issue is an understanding of the physical processes regarding density and the energy transfer along with the conversion of radiant energy to mechanical energy and the currents of the oceans.

Random fluctuations and three physical reasons come into question to explain this: The model calculations are based on different amounts of radiant energy from the sun that impinge on Earth's surface and are stored as a result of the greenhouse effect, e.g. due to atmospheric carbon dioxide.

On the other hand, the single CO vibrational band only absorbs IR at much shorter wavelengths (4.7 microns, or 2145 cm − 1), where the emission of radiant energy from Earth's surface is at least a factor of ten lower.

When solar energy reaches the Earth it is in the form of radiant energy which travels at the speed of light.

The explosive (or eruptive) variables include novas, supernovas, and similar stars that undergo sudden outbursts of radiant energy, which results in rapid brightening.

Unlike eclipsing binaries, the other two types of variable stars are intrinsically variable — that is to say, their own output of radiant energy fluctuates with time.

This would allow them to harness the practically inexhaustible supply of radiant energy.

Today, they have unveiled a new compact with the same name (inspired from the English world which means «a beam of radiant energy or light»), that will be sold exclusively...

Julian Jackson, Aura Study 2 Oil on prepared paper 26 x 22 inches May 12 — June 30, 2011 «Aura is often defined in near mystical terms as the halo or penumbra of colored light surrounding an individual in a field of radiant energy.

Together, Mann and I examined photos of some of Spierer's large collages from a few years ago, in which clumps of wadded newspaper formed islands of radiant energy in vast seas of blue, recalling both American color - field painting and the texture - rich tachiste variety of art informel.

The fundamental point is that the total atmospheric warming arising as a result of the density of the atmosphere is a once and for all netting out of all the truly astronomic number of radiant energy / molecule encounters throughout the atmosphere.

When it reaches a level high enough to cool it to it's «dew point» the water vapour condenses out in the form of clouds and rainfall and the Latent Heat of Condensation is released into the upper part of the atmosphere to accelerate the escape of radiant energy to space.

The heat is quickly radiated back into the atmosphere and joins the rest of the radiant energy in the atmosphere in the process of release to space.

5) A warming effect in the atmosphere arises because between coming in and going out the radiant energy is «processed» by the molecules in the atmosphere into heat energy and then back again, often many times for a single parcel of radiant energy, the number of times being directly proportionate to the density of the atmosphere.
