A Radiation: is Radiation is Energy emitted in the form of electromagnetic waves. Radiation has differing characteristics depending upon the wavelength. Because the radiation from the
sun is relatively energetic, solar radiation has a short wavelength (ultra-violet, visible, and near infrared). Energy radiated away from the Earth's surface and the atmosphere has a longer wavelength (e.g., infrared radiation) because the Earth is cooler than the sun.Flickr PhotosThese pictures about "Radiation:" have been delivered by flickr on a random basis.
