To determine what information can be learned from measuring sunlight through Earth’s atmosphere. We will be focusing mainly on. Identifying peaks . transmitted. absorbed. reflected. 1. transmission. Radiation passes through atmosphere unimpeded.. Shortwave and longwave “windows” . 2. absorption. Energy is transferred to absorber; absorber emits energy. Sun is the main source of energy for Earth. Radiation of solar ray is main source of energy for Atmosphere. . Diameter of sun – 1382400 kms (109 times more than earth) . Velocity of electro magnetic short waves – 297600 km/ second. In fact, the atmosphere receives very low amount of heat energy from the sun as it receives most of its energy from the long wave terrestrial radiation..
