Name and describe the regions in the interior of the Sun?

the regions are, in order from surface to center: the surface, which is 10,000 degrees F. then there is the convection zone, then the radiation zone. Finally, we reach the core which is 27,000,000 degrees F.


What has the lowest insolation?

Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. Polar regions have the lowest insolation.


Why is radiation of heat larger in a black surface than a white surface?

A black surface absorbs the heat radiation and a white surface reflects the heat radiation


What is tilt factor for beam radiation?

Tilt factor for beam radiation(Rb) is the the ratio of beam radiation on the surface under consideration and the beam radiation on a horizontal surface.


What are the locations of the North and South Pole?

The poles are located at 90 degrees latitude. They are located at that part of the Earth's surface which is consistently the furthest from the the sun's heat and light radiation. The locations also receive radiation which has travelled the greatest distance within the atmosphere within which to be absorbed. These locations are, therefore, the coldest regions on the Earth's surface.


What percent radiation is lost after reaching earth's surface?

about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface


How is energy transported from the core to the surface of the sun with radiation and by convection?

Yes, both. In some regions of the Sun, mainly one method of heat transport is used, in others, mainly the other.


How much wetland is there in the world what percentage?

The world's wetlands are believed to cover 7 to 9 million kilometers, (or about 4 to 5 miles), of the planet. That is roughly 4 to 6 percent of the earth's surface. Out of this, 56% of wetlands are found in tropical or subtropical regions.


The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?

the answer is radiation


What happens when radiation reaches earth's surface?

90% of radiation reaching the surface of the earth is absorbed! and 10% is reflected into space.


In what regions of the globe do warm surface currents originate?

southern regions


What form is radiation emitted from the earth's surface back into the atmosphere?

Heat rises from the surface of the earth in the form of infra-red radiation.
