True/False

DaniilM [7]3 years ago

Answer: TRUE.

Explanation: "Glory" is an optical phenomenon caused by water droplets, consisting of concentric rings and somewhat similar to a rainbow.

The glory consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of which is red on the outside and bluish towards the centre.

In order to see a glory, therefore, the clouds or fog causing it must be located below the observer, in a straight line with the Sun/Moon and the observer's eye.

Colored rings appearing surrounding the shadow of an aircraft flying above a cloud is sometimes called The Glory of the Pilot.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

  • Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.
  • Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
  • Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
  • Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
