Shortwave solar radiation from the sun hits the Earth's surface and heats it. Its spectrum includes ultraviolet radiation, visible light, and infrared radiation. The Earth emits heat as longwave infrared radiation into the atmosphere. The two spectra, which approximately correspond to those of black bodies, are compared.

Shortwave solar radiation from the sun hits the Earth's surface and heats it. Its spectrum includes ultraviolet radiation, visible light, and infrared radiation. The Earth emits heat as longwave infrared radiation into the atmosphere. The two spectra, which approximately correspond to those of black bodies, are compared.
