Wake ★★★★★ (4034)	Energy is typically in the form of an alternating energy wave. The Sun exudes energy in the visible light spectrum for the most part while the Earth exudes energy in the thermal IR range. Now, since a sine wave carries as much energy above zero as below it, is there more energy carried by the thermal IR wavelengths as in the visible spectrum and if so how does it?

Now, since a sine wave carries as much energy above zero as below it, is there more energy carried by the thermal IR wavelengths as in the visible spectrum and if so how does it? Not exactly sure what the question is. I kind of disagree with the first statement about energy being in the form of an alternating wave. Kind of. The different forms of potential energy aren't particularly wave related. Heat, thermal energy, isn't particularly wave related. Electrical energy can be. Our electrical grid definitely does use AC, but batteries don't. Electromagnetic radiation is often depicted as a wave, but that's a simplification. You've likely already read that light and other electromagnetic energy has both wave properties and particulate properties. In the case of sunlight and other incandescent/thermal wide spectrum sources, there are many wavelengths involved with no particular overall order. In the case of a laser, then there is more order, and visualizing a single sinusoidal wavetrain can be OK. In your second sentence, yes, the Sun emits more visible light than either UV or IR and the Earth emits IR (but also reflects some of the visible sunlight that strikes it.) You asked "....is there more energy carried by the thermal IR wavelengths as in the visible spectrum and if so how does it?" I don't fully understand the question, but I think the answer is no. If the context is global warming, then no. Assuming no warming, then stable overall temperature, incoming energy from sunlight (visible and UV and IR and whatever else) is balanced by net top-of-atmosphere outgoing. With warming, then there's a tad less outgoing energy than incoming. Not more outgoing energy, not now. You question probably didn't have to do with particles of visible light or of IR, but the energy embodied in individual quanta does vary with the frequency (or inversely with wavelength). Individual quanta of IR carry less energy than individual quanta of visible light. Maybe I didn't understand your question at all.

"zero" is nothing more than a relative reference point. All the energy from the sun that is absorbed by the earth will be radiated in a new form (new wavelength) and the 1st LoT will be forthwith adhered. Although much hotter on the inside, we can closely approximate the surface of the sun, from which its emission occurs, as a black body at a temperature of about 5800 K. The Stefan-Boltzmann equation then gives the energy flux emitted at the sun's surface. SS = (5.67 × 10–8 W·m–2·K–4)(5800 K)4 = 63 × 10^6 W·m–2 around the red wavelength of 0.6 µm, however, there is over 2,000 W/m2. From 0.75 µm or so, there is infrared radiation ranging from about 1,000 W/m2/µm at 0.8 µm to about 100 W/m2/µm at 2.2 µm. This relatively low level of energy persists far into the infrared region. Can you tell the difference between a full radiance of 63 x 10^6 and 1000 tapering to 100? I asked this question about energy and wavelength for a reason and you didn't pause for one second to wonder why. And what exactly did you learn from anything other than to pass out rediculous answers to what is going on in your head?

But then how is the wavelengths of the Sun's emissions described in gms terms? You're getting close.

This wasn't for a paper but for teaching purposes. Our friend that is so quick to quote Stefan-Boltzmann which is based upon Planck's constant is completely in the dark about this question, let alone it's answer. And the only reason for this is he is too quick to judge people instead of science.

Nice going.

All "climate lemmings" such as yourself chime the exact same thing after writing stupid crap, backing themselves into corners and being exposed as science deniers. You are embarrassed and bulveristic, a bad combination that produces shihtead morons. Of course you will no longer respond to me ... you just realized that you cannot do so without embarrassing the crap out of yourself. You cannot be corrected without totally losing your composure.
