Either they necessitate a deceptive «God», e.g. creating starlight «in transit» which means that for some light the star that supposedly sent said light would never have actually existed, or they would cause effect that should be evident but are not, e.g. temporarily fast starlight would effectively cook many things, such as life on earth, if the required light (and attendant gamma radiation) were compressed into a significantly shorter time frame (think of the radiation from the apparent 13 billion years of the universe arriving at the same time, or even over a 1000 years).

Sheltered as we are by Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, which deflect lethal radiation from space, we are like coddled children who have never ventured into a tough neighborhood.

The radiation belts are two donut - shaped regions of highly energetic particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field — the inner, located just above our atmosphere and extending 4,000 miles into space; and the outer, from 8,000 to 26,000 miles out — and are named for their discoverer (as are the probes), the late James A. Van Allen of the University of Iowa.

This weakened shielding would have allowed more energetic particles into the upper atmosphere, which would have begun to break down the ozone layer that protects Earth from harmful UV radiation, Meert says.

Now, the best thing would be to be able to take your class into space and point your $ 50 sensor at the Earth from the Space Station, so you could see that the radiation going out is like a blackbody at 255K instead of the actual surface temperature of the Earth.

If the amount of energy received by the Earth from the Sun exceeds the amount the Earth radiates into space, then the only thing the Earth can do is increase its temperature, which in turn will increase the amount of radiation into space.

This is about the radiation from the Earth to space, which is prevented by the atmosphere's greenhouse gases, and as we pour more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, less energy will be sent into space.

Or, put another way, methane is more effectual than carbon dioxide at absorbing infrared radiation emitted from the earth's surface and preventing it from escaping into space.

Seems everyone agrees A — the earth is warmed by infrared radiation directly from the sun, which is thereby absorbed, converted into heat energy.

The atmosphere's opacity increases so that the altitude from which the Earth's radiation is effectively emitted into space becomes higher.

Traditional anthropogenic theory of currently observed global warming states that release of carbon dioxide into atmosphere (partially as a result of utilization of fossil fuels) leads to an increase in atmospheric temperature because the molecules of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) absorb the infrared radiation from the Earth's surface.

Briefly, the warmer body (Earth's surface) is not affected by radiation from the cooler one (the atmosphere) because that radiation does not have enough energy (high enough frequency) to bring about the conversion of its energy into thermal energy.

As the incoming 168 W / m ^ 2 radiation from the Sun is generating 324 W / m ^ 2 of greenhouse gas back - radiation into the Earth's surface, the whole system must be self - sustaining so that, once started, the sunshine ceases to be relevant.

The third experiment would explore the potential for making cirrus clouds in the upper atmosphere more porous to radiation bouncing back into space from Earth.

The radiation from the Earth can only be radiated into space when the atmosphere is optically thin and this depends on the concentration of GHGs.

This must result in about 85 times as much infrared radiation from the Sun, at 3.3 microns wavelength, being sent back into space by the absorption and re-radiation from methane molecules in the upper atmosphere as could be re-radiated into the lower atmosphere for infrared radiation sourced from the warmed Earth.

Somehow, largely by conduction, convection and latent heat, and such means other than by radiation, heat flows from the earth's surface to somewhere, where it is then radiated into space.

com (because Pocket book): There is still a slight net irradiation gain, due to Earth's orbit libration (see libration — Wikipedia), which heats the land further, but due to increased ice melting from higher radiation gain, the oceans (Antarktis in particular) cool into more La Nina conditions.......

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases absorb the radiation from Earth's surface back into space and send part of it back to Earth.

The pioneer was W.H. Dines, who gave the first explicit model including infrared radiation upward and downward from the atmosphere itself, and energy moved up from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere in the form of heat carried by moisture, Dines (1917); Hunt et al. (1986) gives a review.

5) Thus the presence of water vapour and CO2 means that less energy is radiated into space from within their characteristic radiation bands so the temperature of the earth's surface has to increase in order for energy radiated at other wavelengths to increase to compensate.

That is proof that the longwave radiation from the Earth has reached to the Sun and some of it will impact into the Sun and, ever so slightly, warm it.

Clouds can have a double effect on radiation: they warm the earth by reducing the amount of radiation from the earth that escapes into space but also cool the earth by reflecting the sun's rays back into space.

GHG's hinder the progress of this radiation into outer space directly from the warm surface of the earth, absorbing and radiating 1/2 of the absorbed energy back toward the earth's surface.

The way GHG's work is to block radiation from escaping directly into space from the earth's surface by absorbing it and radiating it back to the surface.

After the initial absorption by the CO2 of the longwave radiation from the earth, most of the re-emitted longwave radiation should be emitted upward into space.»

When the sun is no longer shining the surface of the earth will cool because upward radiation is continuing, and IR is taking energy from the earth into outer space.

Greenhouse Effect As sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, some of the radiation from the sun is reflected back into outer space But, some of that radiation.

Originating in our planet's core and ballooning out into space, the Earth's magnetic field has long kept humans safe from charged particles and deadly radiation, and it turns out it might also know a thing or two about our future well being.

The evidence here comes from satellite measurements of infrared radiation escaping from the earth into outer space, from measurements of sunlight reflected from clouds and from measurements of the temperature the earth's surface or of the troposphere, the roughly 10 km thick layer of the atmosphere above the earth's surface that is filled with churning air and clouds, heated from below at the earth's surface, and cooled at the top by radiation into space.

Otherwise, such a hypothesis does not even satisfy the First Law of Thermodynamics (basically, conservation of energy): Without substances in the atmosphere that absorb terrestrial radiation, the earth's surface at its present temperature would be emitting back out into space way more energy than it receives from the sun and hence would rapidly cool down.

It is most correct to say that because of back - radiation (in combination with the radiation from the sun), the earth is warmer than it would be if all the radiation from its surface escaped into space.

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.

It's obviously not the same as the radiation from the earth's climate system into space.

To understand why our climate warms or cools we need to know how much radiation is coming in from the sun and how much the earth is radiating out into empty space.

Presumbly that's converted into radiation by clouds, dust particles, etc which are radiating in roughly the same wavelength's as they absorb radiation from earth's surface.

The CO2 molecules allow the shorter - wavelength rays from the Sun to enter the atmosphere and strike the Earth's surface, but they do not allow much of the long - wave radiation reradiated from the surface to escape into space.

It is a simple application of the Stefan - Boltzman equation for blackbody radiation that gives an increase in radiative emissions from Earth, until it once again equals the radiation coming into the Earth.
