Earth's atmosphere and radiation. Computer artwork showing the differing absorbance of electromagnetic waves by the Earth's atmosphere. Low frequency microwaves and radio waves,and mid-frequency visible light are able to reach the Earth's surface,although long-wave radio is blocked. The majority of infrared radiation is absorbed by water in the Earth's atmosphere,although some does reach the surface. High frequency wavelengths including X-rays and gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and so do not reach Earth's surface | |
