What is solar radiation ?What is it's significance for earth?
Answers
Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction that creates electromagnetic energy. The spectrum of solar radiation is close to that of a black body with a temperature of about 5800 K. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Air temperature is indirectly dependent on solar radiation. ... Infrared radiation absorbed by Earth's surface warms the surrounding air. Earth absorbs infrared radiation and converts it to thermal energy. As the surface absorbs heat from the sun, it becomes warmer than the surrounding atmosphere
Answer:
The sun continuously radiates heat and light energy in all the directions. It is known

Solar radiation is the only primary source of light and heat on the earth. The earth receives its
heat from solar radiation which is a tiny fraction of the radiated energy of the sun.
