Radiation Emission and Earth's Temperature
What you need to know
Explain that all bodies emit radiation and understand that the intensity and wavelength distribution of any emission depend on the temperature of the body.
Explain the link between a body's temperature and the balance of incoming, absorbed and emitted radiation.
Illustrate the radiation balance using everyday examples, including factors that determine the overall temperature of the Earth.
