Solar radiation instruments may be produced to measure different types of solar energy. When sunlight encounters the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is absorbed or scattered by water vapor, aerosols, clouds, and other air molecules. The radiation which penetrates to the Earth's surface is termed direct solar radiation.

A thermopile pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar radiation on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm.

Initial amount spent on trouser by the man = Rs. 1250

Now, by the reduction of 20% in 1250, he can buy t-shirt too.

=> t-shirt cost = 20% of 1250 = 20 x 1250/100 = 250

Therefore, the price of the t-shirt = Rs. 250.

$$\begin{gathered} 32oF \\ We know that \\ T(°F) = T(°C) × 1.8 + 32 \\ 32(°F) = 0(°C) \end{gathered}$$

Albedo refers to a material's ability to reflect sunlight. Since 30% of the sun's energy is reflected by the entire earth, the earth has an average albedo of 0.30.

Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo.

Hierarchy is a system of ranking in which members of a particular society are ranked in an ascending order depending on various factors.
