Radiation oncology is the medical specialty concerned with prescribing radiation, and is distinct from radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis. Radiation may be prescribed by a radiation oncologist with intent to cure (curative) or for adjuvant therapy.
Earth's atmosphere also play a vital role in regulating the temperature by providing a blanket of gases that not only protects us from excessive heat and harmful radiation from the sun, but also traps heat rising from the Earth's interior, keeping us warm. The average temperature on Earth is about 61 degrees F (16 C).But temperatures vary greatly around the world depending on the time of year, ocean and wind currents and weather conditions. Summers tend to be warmer and winters colder. Also, temperatures tend to be higher near the equator and lower near the poles.arth's atmosphere also play a vital role in regulating the temperature by providing a blanket of gases that not only protects us from excessive heat and harmful radiation from the sun, but also traps heat rising from the Earth's interior, keeping us warm.

Earth sits much closer to the sun than Mars does and is thus more intensely subjected to the sunâs formidable power. Not only does the sun generate temperatures on its surface upwards of more than 10,000Â° F (5,538Â° C), but its core temperature is over 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius)!
