Sentences with phrase «radiation reaching our planet»

That GH conjecture is totally wrong: radiation reaching a planet's surface is not the primary determinant of the surface temperature.

If the Earth's climate system is getting out of hand, don't worry, we can regulate it with sulphur particles in the stratosphere, managing the amount of solar radiation reaching the planet.

Tackling climate change by reducing the solar radiation reaching our planet using climate engineering, known also as geoengineering, could result in undesirable effects for the Earth and humankind.

Not exact matches

The scant radiation that did reach the planet was trapped by the atmosphere, resulting in warm, wet periods.

New research suggests that repeated exposure to galactic cosmic rays and other forms of radiation would be debilitating — astronauts could suffer brain damage or develop leukemia after reaching the Red Planet — and ultimately deadly.

Vincent Bourrier at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and his team tracked the UV radiation that reaches the planets around TRAPPIST - 1.

If the material carried by the solar wind reached a planet's surface, its radiation would do severe damage to any life that might exist.

Also during 1992 and 1993, ash and other particles from the volcano created a haze around the planet and slightly reduced the sunlight reaching Earth's surface and made the sun's radiation less direct and more diffuse.

The rest reaches the planet's surface and is reflected upward again as a type of slow - moving energy called infrared radiation.

Enveloping the earth with a layer of sulfate particles would cool the planet by regulating the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface.

The ozone layer acts as a shield for the planet that prevents dangerous radiation from reaching the biosphere, where humans, plants, and animals reside.

That greenhouse gases being absent does not effect the one third of solar radiation being absorbed by clouds Or the surface albedo can jump from 12 % to 30 % Or the greenhouse gases being absent but still have clouds to reflect radiation Or the IR (not now absorbed) by the clouds will not obey Kirchoff's Law on reaching the planet surface And so on.

On all planets temperatures in any troposphere get hotter as you approach the base of that troposphere, whether or not there is a surface there, whether or not solar radiation reaches the lower troposphere and quite regardless of whether there is carbon dioxide or water vapour in the planet's atmosphere.

The ozone layer is important, because it prevents harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the surface of the planet.

The report, considerably more cautious, describes geoengineering as one element of a «portfolio of responses» to climate change and examines the prospects of two approaches — removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and enveloping the planet in a layer of sulfate particles to reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

Many believe that increased water vapor, solar variations in radiation and magnetic flux, our relative position in the solar system, the tilt of our planet's axis, the clearing of our atmosphere of pollutants which allows more sunlight to reach the ground, or our position in the Milky Way galaxy that affects the amount of radiation reaching our atmosphere and affecting cloud formation, are also important and are not (and can not be yet) adequately considered in the computer models used by the IPCC consensus.

We'd need to add the Bond albedo into Equation 2.3 (making this a gray body instead of a black body in the process) and so about 10 % of the radiation that reaches Venus is actually absorbed by the planet.

The Sun's radiation transports, or emits, short - wave electro - magnetic radiation away and thus avoids «a big bang» --(There may also be back radiation from planets etc. provided the radiative forces are strong enough to reach the Sun) On a smaller scale the same «Energy Transport System» or radiative principles work here on Earth too.

All that happens when you start off with a very cold or a very hot «radiating temperature» relative to the incoming radiation is that the planet heats up or cools down until it reaches its equilibrium.
