Sentences with phrase «when radiation from the sun»

This layer of the atmosphere forms when radiation from the sun strips electrons from, or ionizes, atoms and molecules in the atmosphere between about 75 and 1,000 kilometers above Earth's surface.

The use of dark, nonreflective materials for parking, roofs, walkways, and other surfaces raises ambient temperatures when radiation from the sun is absorbed and transferred through convection and conduction back to surrounding areas.

Not exact matches

The spacecraft's telescopes are sensitive to radiation from the hot outer atmospheres of stars like the Sun and white dwarfs, formed when stars about the size of the Sun reach the end of their lives.

When charged particles from the sun hit a planet's atmosphere, they usually create radiation such as X-rays.

These systems are especially important when our cells are stressed — for example, when we are exposed to extreme temperatures or UV radiation from the sun — as quite a lot can go wrong if cells are unable to respond to environmental stressors.

Surface radiative energy budget plays an important role in the Arctic, which is covered by snow and ice: when the balance is positive, more solar radiation from the Sun and the Earth's atmosphere arrives on the Earth's surface than is emitted from it.

When sunlight from the Sun hits these solar panels, the photons exert a small but significant amount of force (radiation pressure).

When it comes to sun protection, spirulina has been shown to protect skin and eyes from harmful UV radiation.

Now, when the energy received directly from the Sun at the surface of Venus is less than 10 % of what we receive on Earth, then there is less than 10 % coming back as back radiation — far less in fact.

When sunspots are on the limb of the Sun — just rotating onto or off of the face — the plage are prominent from our vantagepoint, creating a significant increase in radiation that far outweighs the dip of radiation caused by the rest of the sunspot's transit.

Here's a hint: begins with a G. 3) So after all that blabing about moon, mercury and venus it is still hard to see how the obscure part of Venus (which is not recieving any direct radiation from the Sun) is still over 400 Celcius when on a plante much closer to the same sun temperatures plunge to a a hundred negative... since the Greenhouse effect does not exist it must be MAGIC, pardon me, SCIENSun) is still over 400 Celcius when on a plante much closer to the same sun temperatures plunge to a a hundred negative... since the Greenhouse effect does not exist it must be MAGIC, pardon me, SCIENsun temperatures plunge to a a hundred negative... since the Greenhouse effect does not exist it must be MAGIC, pardon me, SCIENCE.

Visible light, oops, I didn't explain that, visible light is radiation from the Sun you can't feel but you can see, that's why we call it light, and that's why when there is no radiation from the Sun it is dark, because the light has gone.

Memphis October 17, 2012 at 10:56 am Myrr when are you going to realise that NOBODY thinks that only visible radiation comes from sun.

This phenomena is when the radiation coming from the sun penetrates and stays in our atmosphere longer because of ozone depletion caused by harmful gases like carbon dioxide.

When SW radiation from the Sun interacts with matter (the Earth, for example) it imparts energy to the receiving molecules which can increase the thermal energy of the matter — it fills the «energy gap» required to reach the next energy level (warm).

I didn't mention the obvious fact that you stated, that the heating will cease, when the upper atmosphere warms enough to restore the equilibrium between radiation leaving the earth and arriving from the sun.

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.

Phrased differently, the previously frozen sea ice acts as an insulator between the salt water below the sea ice and the Arctic air above the sea ice — preventing BOTH evaporation losses from the water AND radiation losses to the 12 hours of night air when the sun doesn't shine.

If the south wall had a suitable overhang to block direct solar radiation from the high summer sun, the movable insulation could be moved partly or completely aside when solar daylighting is desired during the daytime.
