![]() ![]() Larger angle, higher concentration (warmer) If the temp of an object is twice as much as another, how much more energy does the warmer object emit? 16 times more In what wavelengths does the sun and earth emit energy? shorter (high energy), longer (lower) What is the primary source for heating the earth's atmosphere? The earth's surface What is heat capacity? Amount of energy that is necessary to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount What is heat capacity of water vs. ![]() High concentrations of O3 near 80,000 ft MSL Define radiation Transferred by electromagnetic waves Define conduction Transferred through molecular motion Define convection Vertical transfer of energy Define advection Horizontal transfer of energy The intensity of solar radiation received fromt he Sun is effected by? Time (day/year) and location (latitude) How does the solar elevation angle effect the amount of energy received by earth? At a smaller angle, there is less energy (cooler). ![]() 60,000ft just outside of Class A Define ozone layer Found in the lower stratosphere. where most clouds, flying, living, and weather occur Define stratosphere Temperature changes slowly, increases with altitude. Define troposphere the lowest layer of the atmosphere, average temp decreases with altitude. ![]()
