Sentences with phrase «radiation from the sun known»

The ozone layer is crucial since it blocks out the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun known to increase the risk of skin cancer and cataract damage, in addition to other harmful effects on plants and animals.

Not exact matches

«Now we know that ultraviolet radiation from the sun or indoor tanning is a cancer - causing carcinogen.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services proclaimed in 2002 that ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds and sun lamps, is a known carcinogen.

The largest of these eruptions cause what is known as space weather — the radiation, energetic particles and magnetic field releases from the Sun powerful enough to cause severe effects in Earth's near environment, such as the disruption of communications, power lines and navigations systems.

Without this protective field, the upper atmosphere was vulnerable to being stripped away by radiation constantly streaming from the sun, known as the solar wind.

Although ethylene (or ethene) is best known as a plant hormone, humans also produce it as consequence of oxidative stress, caused for example by the UV radiation from the sun.

We know how much radiation comes from the sun, and we know the effects of CO2, but there are pretty large error bars on aerosols that this mission could help with.

«What's generating the heat is energy from radiation from the sun (you know, sunlight).

Is not correct if one is referring to electromagnetic radiation - which is the only known energy radiated from the sun that can reach Earth.

It is well - known that you can not focus radiation from the sun to achieve a temperature hotter than the sun.

The microwave energy (within the IR REGION) will not produce «sun burn» (a mild radiation burn from UV - A and UV - B) but would produce too much intrinsic heat in outer cellular structures, stopping internal cellular processes and most likely the formation of «life as we know it».

No publication discusses a greenhouse effect specifically at the poles, so don't bother me with links to all the «runaway greenhouse» garbage (which I've studied for thousands of hours) because there's only 1W / m ^ 2 going in from the Sun, and so no more coming out into the atmosphere, and so no more coming down again as back radiation.

They know that the heat we get from the Sun is the Sun's thermal energy radiated to us in thermal infrared, it's called HEAT transfer by radiation, and you've taken that out of your Greenhouse Effect energy budget..

The (microwave) energy within the Infrared Region (IrR) will not produce «sun burn» (a mild radiation burn from UV - A and UV - B) but would induct too much intrinsic KE (measured as temperature) in outer cellular structures, stopping internal cellular processes, killing those cells, and preventing even the formation of «life» not only «as we know it», but as «we are».

of course radiation emanates from the sun and heats earth surface, oceans and atmosphere, whilst parts of the atmosphere maintain whats known as a greenhouse effect..

That brings us back to that infrared radiation which reaches the ocean surfaces either directly from the sun or alternatively from what is known as downwelling infrared from the gas molecules in the air.

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.

One suggestion he came up with was that the energy coming in from the sun in the form of visible and ultra-violet light (known back then as «luminous heat») was easily able to pass through Earth's atmosphere and heat up the planet's surface, but that the «non-luminous heat» (now known as infra - red radiation) then emitted by the Earth's surface could not make it back in the opposite direction quite so readily.

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.

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).
