Aurinkoenergiasäteilyn
Aurinkoenergiasäteily refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun. This radiation is the primary source of energy for Earth's climate system and sustains life on our planet. The spectrum of solar radiation includes ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and infrared (IR) wavelengths. The intensity of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface is influenced by factors such as atmospheric conditions, latitude, time of day, and season. This incoming energy, often measured in watts per square meter, drives weather patterns, photosynthesis in plants, and is the basis for solar power generation technologies. Understanding aurinkoenergiasäteily is crucial for fields ranging from meteorology and climatology to renewable energy and astrobiology. Variations in solar activity, such as solar flares and sunspots, can also have measurable impacts on Earth's atmosphere and technological systems. The absorption and reflection of this radiation by Earth's surface and atmosphere determine the planet's temperature.
