September 19, 2020 | Education
| The most powerful electromagnetic radiation the Earth has in three areas of the spectrum:
1) the reflected radiation in terms of spectral composition fully corresponds to the radiation of the Sun, the maximum of which is 0.5 μm;
2) intrinsic thermal radiation with a maximum in the region of 10 μm;
3) radio emission from numerous radio and television stations. Earth is a bright radio source in the planetary system.
