Terrestrial (Earth) Radiation Radiation emitted by Earth is almost entirely long-wave radiation. Most of the terrestrial radiation is absorbed by the water vapor in the atmosphere and some by other gases (about 8 percent is radiated directly to outer space). This radiant energy is reradiated in the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.
The Sunâs energy has traveled across space as. electromagnetic radiation, and that is the form. in which it arrives on Earth. It is this radiation. that determines the effect of the Sunâs energy. on the Earth and its climate. Infrared radiation, radio waves, visible light, and ultraviolet rays. are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. One. of the best ways to understand the production. of this type of energy is to consider how it is. emitted by atoms, in particular the hydrogen. atom.
