Atmospheric physics radiation (emitted by the sun) and terrestrial radiation (emitted by Earth's surface and atmosphere). Solar radiation contains variety of wavelengths. Visible light has wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.7 micrometers. Shorter wavelengths are known as the ultraviolet (UV) part of the spectrum, while longer wavelengths are grouped into the infrared portion of the spectrum. Ozone is most effective in absorbing radiation around 0.25 micrometers, where UV-c rays lie in the spectrum. This increases the temperature of the nearby stratosphere. Snow reflects 88% of UV rays, while sand reflects 12%, and water reflects only 4% of incoming UV radiation. The more glancing
I Was a Satellite of the Sun is responsible for deadly radiation. Animated scenes explain orbital dynamics, auroras, solar radiation, and other scientific topics. The first panel reads: "In episodes" "Uncredited" I Was a Satellite of the Sun I Was a Satellite of the Sun - () Soviet feature dramatic science-fiction film of 1959 with animation elements. The story is told as an autobiography of the astronaut character Andrew, and set in the future, where space flight is common. Scientist/Astronaut Petrovich pioneers the way to the Sun, but his spacecraft is never heard from again. Later, Andrew's laboratory investigates means of protection from deadly radiation. Andrew repeats
