Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 5 "Clervaux" to "Cockade" Here was a means of convening solar radiation into heat, then, that offered tremendous commercial possibilities! Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930 In this case, the same organism that had directly stored the energy of the solar radiation would have expended it in free movements in space. Creative Evolution Scarcely 60 per cent., in fact, of those solar radiations which strike perpendicularly through a seemingly translucent sky, were estimated to attain the sea-level. A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition It seems, however, hardly possible to suppose that any atmosphere could form an adequate protection for the inhabitants from the violent and rapid fluctuations of solar radiation. The Story of the Heavens It might however be urged that, inasmuch as we derive all our heat from the sun, the selfsame covering which protects the earth from chill must also shut out the solar radiation. Fragments of science, V. 1-2 That's just a secondary effect of the effect of cosmic rays and solar radiations on the order of particles existing at that level. The Mercenaries If we can imagine the earth cut off from the solar radiation, the air would cease to move.
