| Radiation source | World | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Inhalation of air | 1.26 | mainly from radon, depends on indoor accumulation |
| Ingestion of food & water | 0.29 | (K-40, C-14, etc.) |
| Terrestrial radiation from ground | 0.48 | depends on soil and building material |
| Cosmic radiation from space | 0.39 | depends on altitude |
When solar radiation falls on Earth’s atmosphere the temperature of land mass?
Absorption of solar radiation by ozone shields the terrestrial surface from harmful ultraviolet light and warms the stratosphere, producing maximum temperatures of −15 to 10 °C (5 to 50 °F) at an altitude of 50 km (30 miles).
How does radiation interacts with the objects in the surface of the earth?
Radiation that is not absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere can reach and interact with the Earth’s surface. … These are: absorption (A); transmission (T); and reflection (R). The total incident energy will interact with the surface in one or more of these three ways.
