More wavelength rays are emitted from the earth's surface into the atmosphere. This warms the atmosphere. These rays that heat the atmosphere are called radiation.
In some cases the temperature of the atmosphere rises rather than falls as it rises above the earth's surface. This type of temperature is called inverse or inverse temperature.
Which factors affect the horizontal distribution of temperature?
Answer
The horizontal distribution of temperature on the surface of the earth is influenced by factors such as latitude, distance from the ocean, ocean currents, wind direction, and altitude.
The study of temperature distribution is divided into how many sections? Which one?
Answer
The study of temperature distribution is divided into two sections. $(1)$ temperature horizontal distribution and $(2)$ vertical distribution of temperature.
About $35\%$ of the sun's heat is reflected back into space by colliding with clouds, particles, icy regions of the earth's surface, and water bodies without being absorbed by the sun. This amount of reflected solar shock is called the Earth's reflection coefficient or Albedo.
When the number of sunspots on the surface of the sun is high, the surface of the earth gets less sunset and when the number of sunspots is less, the surface of the earth gets more sunshine.
What causes the earth to produce tremendous energy in the form of light and heat?
Answer
Due to the extreme pressure and temperature in the center of the sun, there is a natural dramatic reaction. In this reaction, the hydrogen atoms of the Sun's solids combine to produce a tremendous amount of light and heat energy.
The earth receives both heat and light from the sun's rays and the heat energy of the sun comes to the earth through its radiation hence it is called solar radiation.
What are the factors affecting the distribution of sunlight?
Answer
Factors affecting solar shock distribution $(1)$ Angular length of sun rays $(2)$ Length of day $(3)$ Density and height of atmosphere $(4)$ Ground water $(5)$ Proportion of sun stains.
