### energy | radiation:

Residual radiation
* consists of all radiation produced after one minute from the explosion
  - induced radiation and fallout
* is that which persists beyond the first minute after detonation.

### energy | radiation:

Solar radiation
* Most solar radiation has ranges
  - heats surfaces
* Most solar radiation passes through materials
  - such materials
* Most solar radiation reaches earth
  - water surfaces
  - strikes outer atmospheres
* Some solar radiation absorbs earth
  - affects earth
  - causes power
  - creates habitats
  - depends on properties
  - falls on surfaces
  - has potential
  - hits earth
  - strikes earth
* absorbed by plants permits photosynthesis.
* affects global climate patterns and local crop growth conditions.
* can be both good and bad for a person 's health
  - have rapid lethal effects on eggs, embryos, larvae, juveniles, and adults
  - useful as well as harmful
* causes ice to evaporate on the sun ward side of the nucleus
  - sunward side of the nucleus
* contains variety of wavelengths.
* creates and destroys ozone.
* declines until sunset and the temperature also decreases.
* enhances the density of nitric oxide.
* entering the pond is stored as heat in the lower layer.
* has a lethal effect on natural populations of outdoor atmospheric bacteria
  - the greatest influence of all factors on soil temperature
  - two effects on the human body, one thermal the other biological
* has, therefore, a prominent ecological role.
* heats the earth and provides the energy that drives atmospheric circulation
  - eath's crust
  - landmasses, oceans, and air
* includes, of course, visible light.
* influences the level of ripeness a grape can achieve.
* is absorbed at the Earth's surface and converted into heat.
* is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and land and water bodies
  - tips, and the inner plumage insulates the skin
  - during the day and released gradually during the cold nights
  - in different layers of the ionosphere
  - an energy supply for the atmosphere and the surface
  - another aspect of the desert environment
  - both the energizer and the organizer of life on Earth
  - closely related to the sunshine duration
  - electromagnetic radiation
  - emitted in various forms which travel at the speed of light
* is fundamentally different than natural gas
  - necessary for whales
  - intense at high altitude, and severe sun burning can occur quickly
  - measured with two automated, independent instruments
  - most concentrated at the equator for the entire year
  - sampled every minute
  - shown to select for pigmented bacteria in the ambient outdoor atmosphere
* is the only significant source of energy driving the climate system
  - source of energy for virtually all life on Earth
  - ultimate source of energy for all organisms
* penetrates the atmosphere and is absorbed by Earth's surface.
* polarizes into more yin ultraviolet and more yang infrared rays.
* significant factor since it increases body temperature directly.
* strikes atmospheres
  - leaf surfaces
  - the earth more directly at the equator and tropics than in polar regions
* varies significantly among regions.
* varies with latitude, but particularly with depth in the ocean
  - seasons as well
* warms Earth's surface
  - an extensive layer in water
+ Sunlight: Light :: Energy :: Solar System :: Natural resources :: Solar power :: Electromagnetic radiation
  * Solar radiation can be both good and bad for a person's health. When in the light, the human body makes its own Vitamin D. Being in sunlight without sunscreen too much can cause sunburn.

Space radiation
* can cause radiation sickness and other health problems
  - trigger cancer and cause damage to the central nervous system
* is an extreme hazard to crews of interplanetary missions
  - one of the primary environmental hazards associated with space flight
* represents an environmental hazard associated with space flight.
