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.

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.

The nucleotides that are present in DNA molecule are 4. They are Thymine (T), Guanine (G), Adenine (A) and Cytosine (C).

Here in this Adenine pairs with Thymine (A - T) and Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C - G).

Most important weather phenomena occur in the layer of Thermosphere.

Most of the weather phenomenon occur in the layer of Troposphere.

A greenhouse gas (GHG) is any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation in the thermal infrared range.

The increase in average global temperatures that results from an enhanced greenhouse effect.

Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions:

Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition levels.

Allahabad is known as the City of Prime Ministers because seven out of 15 prime ministers of India since independence have connections to Allahabad(Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Gulzarilal Nanda, Vishwanath Pratap Singh and Chandra Shekhar).
