  1. Energy from the Sun

  2. Energy from the Sun • Source of energy that powers a storm: • How does energy from the Sun get to Earth? • Sun • As waves of electromagnetic radiation

  3. Energy from the Sun • Electromagnetic radiation • wavelength • All wavelengths of energy • Gamma rays • X-rays • Ultraviolet (UV) light • Visible light • Infrared • Microwaves • Radio waves • How long each wave determines which type of energy it is Electromagnetic Radiation Adobe

  4. Energy from the Sun • Infrared • Visible light • Ultraviolet (UV) light • Invisible radiation detected as heat • Radiation we “see” • Invisible high-energy radiation that gives us a tan but can also damage living tissue

  5. Energy from the Sun • ozone • Rare gas • Three oxygen molecules bonded (O₃) • Layer of ozone in the atmosphere that absorbs 90% of UV light
