_______________ radiation is the energy transmitted from the sun to the earth in the form of electromagnetic waves. It is mainly composed of short wave radiation (< 4 µm in wavelength).

When the angle of the sun is 90°, it is known as the     _________sun.

Some of the radiation is ______________ by certain materials, which increase in temperature as a result.

Some objects _____________the radiation back without absorbing or allowing it to pass through.
