EM radiation from the Sun
Learn how all objects above absolute zero emit a mix of electromagnetic (EM) radiation which depends on their temperature. Explore how the blackbody radiation curve can be used to determine the surface temperatures of stars, including the Sun. Discover how sunlight interacts with Earth's atmosphere, which affects the color of Earth's sky and Earth's surface temperature through the greenhouse effect.
