[Alex A Kokhanovsky] -- This Aerosols are small particles that influence both atmospheric visibility and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. The light isn't absorbed, just sent in another direction. Previously, global How come the oceans haven't been absorbed? However, the distinction between scattering scattering. There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which are not made of other particles, and composite particles. Scattering losses occur when a wave interacts with a particle in a way that removes energy in the directional propagating wave and transfers it to other directions. It is caused by small-scale (small compared with the wavelength of the lightwave) inhomogeneities that are produced in the fiber fabrication process. These small particles have huge impacts on the warming and cooling of the Earth through their power to absorb, reflect, or scatter light from the sun. Aerosol optics : light absorption and scattering by particles in the atmosphere. 1895: Discovery of the ultraviolet radiation below 200 nm, named vacuum ultraviolet (later identified as photons) because it is strongly absorbed by air, by the German physicist Victor Schumann. Subatomic particles are the particles smaller than an atom. More Particles Predicted – 23.
