Hello everyone today am looking at the types of solar radiation. Types of Solar Radiation The total solar radiation, often called as global radiation is the sum of direct, diffuse and reflected radiation. The solar radiation available to us is always a mix of the above mentioned three components. The approximate percentage of each of these components varies as the different parameters, such as weather, location etc. change. In order to monitor and analyze the performance of solar plants,...Read More...

Hello everyone today am looking at the effects of solar radiation on people with dark coloured skin. Dark complexions have both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to sun exposure. On one hand, dark skin is less likely to get sunburned and less likely to develop skin cancer. On the other hand, because dark skin naturally provides protection from the sun's ultraviolet rays, it prevents dark-skinned people from producing the necessary amount of vitamin D.(1) People who are at a high...Read More...

Hello everyone today I will be looking at how the suns rays affect the Albinos. Skin cancers are the most common cancers among albinos in our environment. Albinism and exposure to ultraviolet light appears to be the most important risk factor in the development of these cancers.
