The Sun-Earth System

by John Streete

This module shows how solar energy is produced and how the Earth's atmosphere interacts with solar radiation, thereby helping students understand such physical phenomena as the greenhouse effect and global warming. The module, which is accessible to any student who has studied introductory algebra, includes problems at the end of each section and a hands-on experiment designed to measure the solar constant with easily obtainable items.
