Why is radiation of heat larger in a black surface than a white surface?

A black surface absorbs the heat radiation and a white surface reflects the heat radiation


What clour absorbs very little heat radiation?

white


How do heat transfers by radiation?

Heat transfer by radiation occurs in the infra-red part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum, because matter emits and absorbs radiation with that range of frequencies.


What processes balance the heat budget of Earth's surface?

radiation


Would the thermometer wrapped with a black cloth have a higher reading than one not wrapped?

Color is determined by the amount of radiation an object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all colors of light, meaning it absorbs the most radiation, increasing heat.


How does heat from the sun reach you?

Heat from the sun reaches you from radiation.


How does the atmosphere affect the earth's climate?

the atmosphere absorbs heat from solar radiation; which varies with latitude and seasons


Is the balance between incoming radiation and outgoing heat called radiation balance?

Is the equation of incoming and outgoing thermal radiation. Incoming radiation or solar radiation is called short wave and the radiation emitted from the earths surface and atmosphere (heat radiation) is in the infra -red spectrum and is known as long wave radiation.


How does oxybenzon work in sunblock?

In sunscreen, the oxybenzone specifically absorbs UV radiation. It then dissipates the UV radiation as heat, though this can theoretically cause minor damage to the body.


What part of heart absorbs UV radiations?

You meant to say HEAT? UV radiation is a part of sun and is absorbed by UV.


How does radiation heat a substance?

Heat is the chaotic vibrations of molecules caused by absorption and emission of infrared radiation. Also, if a particle absorbs any wavelength of light then it can transfer some of the energy of the absorption into kinetic energy which generates infrared radation; which we perceive as heat.


How does the greenhouse effect work relative to earth's energy balance?

The balance of incident Solar radiation as compared to the Re-Radiation of the same incident Solar radiation is skewed so that the Re-Radiation is cancelled and the Heat - easily in infra-red form - is Retained at and by the Earth.
