1. Differentiate between insolation and terrestrial fadiation,

Insolation refers to the solar radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface, primarily coming from the Sun in the form of visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation. It’s what warms our planet and drives weather patterns. Interestingly, the amount of insolation varies based on geographical location and time of year, leading to different climates and seasons around the world!

On the other hand, terrestrial radiation is the energy emitted by the Earth itself as it absorbs solar energy and then radiates it back into space, mostly in the infrared spectrum. This process is crucial for maintaining Earth’s temperature, as it helps balance the energy received from the Sun. A fun fact: without this natural radiation, Earth would be a much cooler (and less hospitable) place!
