  1. 2. Term for outgoing infrared radiation (heat) emitted by the warmed Earth.
  2. 3. The process where radiation bounces off a surface.
  3. 5. A measure of a surface's effectiveness in emitting thermal radiation, compared to a perfect emitter.
  4. 7. Type of longwave radiation (heat) that is emitted by the Earth's surface after it absorbs sunlight.
  5. 9. Adjective describing a surface with high albedo, meaning it reflects most radiation.
  6. 10. A common surface with a very high albedo. Example
  7. 11. Adjective describing a surface with low albedo, meaning it absorbs most radiation.
  8. 13. Part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we see as light; a component of shortwave solar radiation.

  1. 1. Energy transferred as electromagnetic waves
  2. 4. The process where a body or surface releases energy as thermal radiation.
  3. 6. A common surface with a very low albedo. Example
  4. 8. The fraction of incident solar radiation that a surface reflects, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
  5. 10. Term for incoming solar radiation which includes ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light.
  6. 12. The process where a surface takes in energy from incident radiation.
