  2. File:Solar spectrum en.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_spectrum_en.svg

    Português: A figua mostra o espectro da radiação solar direta, tanto na parte mais alta da atmosfera terrestre (representado pela área em amarelo) como ao nível do mar (área em vermelho). O Sol emite radiação com uma distribuição similar ao que seria esperado de um corpo negro a 5778 K (5505 °C), que é a temperatura aproximada da ...

  3. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    Solar radiation maps are built using databases derived from satellite imagery, as for example using visible images from Meteosat Prime satellite. A method is applied to the images to determine solar radiation. One well validated satellite-to-irradiance model is the SUNY model. [39] The accuracy of this model is well evaluated.

  4. Hemispherical photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_photography

    Hemispherical photograph used to study microclimate of winter roosting habitat at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, Mexico.. Hemispherical photography, also known as canopy photography, is a technique to estimate solar radiation and characterize plant canopy geometry using photographs taken looking upward through an extreme wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens (Rich 1990).

  5. Radiative zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_zone

    The radius of the radiative zone increases monotonically with mass, with stars around 1.2 solar masses being almost entirely radiative. Above 1.2 solar masses, the core region becomes a convection zone and the overlying region is a radiative zone, with the amount of mass within the convective zone increasing with the mass of the star. [7]

  6. Solar map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_map

    Unlike Scholarly Solar Maps, Interactive solar Maps are online and have a lot more detail and miscellaneous information. In most cases, these solar maps are constructed out of satellite images and allow internet users to zoom in and out of the map that they are viewing much in the way that Google Earth and Bing Aerial operates. [2]

  7. Effect of Sun angle on climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_Sun_angle_on_climate

    This is a diagram of the seasons. Regardless of the time of day (i.e. Earth 's rotation on its axis), the North Pole will be dark, and the South Pole will be illuminated; see also arctic winter . Figure 3 shows the angle of sunlight striking Earth in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres when Earth's northern axis is tilted away from the Sun ...

  8. Solar radio emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radio_emission

    The final, and least common, solar radio emission mechanism is electron-cyclotron maser emission (ECME). Maser is an acronym for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation", which originally referred to a laboratory device that can produce intense radiation of a specific frequency through stimulated emission.

  9. Sunlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight

    The solar constant is a measure of flux density, is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area that would be incident on a plane perpendicular to the rays, at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU) (roughly the mean distance from the Sun to Earth).
