the radiant energy given off by the sun. Since the sun is a very hot body, the bulk of the radiation is high energy at ultraviolet and visible light wavelengths.
Radiation originating from the sun.
Solar radiation is light energy from the sun. Solar radiation can be measured in kWh per meter squared per day.
see also solar flux radiant flux emitted by the sun (primarily in the shortwave range 0.3 - 3.0 µm) [W] [Wh] [MJ] Sonnen- strahlung
The heat transferred to the earth by the sun.
the entire energy spectrum (all wavelengths) created by the sun. The wavelengths reaching earth range from 300 to 3,000 nanometers.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy to power a satellite's systems. The solar panels are typically used to charge batteries whilst the satellite is in sunlight. When the satellite passes to the far side of the Earth (into eclipse) the satellite systems will continue to run powered by the on-board batteries. Individually, solar panels provide little power, but large numbers are connected together covering the outside of the satellite or arranged on long arms to increase the surface area that is available to 'catch' sunlight and therefore to provide more electrical energy.
The amount of sunlight exposed to the fuels.
energy from the sun—includes ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, and infrared radiation.
the total solar radiation coming from the sun and all of the sky. it includes the direct beam from the unclouded sun as well as the diffuse radiation arriving, indirectly as scattered or reflected sunlight from the sky and clouds.
The sun's energy that comes to earth in the form of direct, diffuse and reflected rays.
The wavelength energy emitted by the sun. It travels at the speed of light and varies in wavelength. Some types of solar radiation are x-rays, infrared, and visible light.
the radiation emitted by the sun
is energy from the sun. It is the main energy source for Earth's climate system, heating the surface and driving currents in the oceans and winds in the atmosphere. Ordinary visible sunlight is the most obvious form of solar radiation, but other forms are significant too. For example, see ultraviolet radiation.
Radiation emitted by the sun including infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and visible light.
The total radiant energy from the sun, including ultraviolet and infrared wave lengths as well as visible light.
Radiant energy deriving from the sun. Measured in watts per square meter.
Electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
Our solar radiation sensors measure global radiation, which is the total radiation from the sun and reflected from the sky. The reported units are watts/square meter.
Solar radiation is the heat and light that comes from the sun.
Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The other half is mostly in the near-infrared part, with some in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/041.htm#121. the size of this ultraviolet radiation that is not absorbed by the atmosphere produces a suntan or a sunburn on people who have been in sunlight for extended periods of time.
