Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atmospheric attenuation refers to the reduction in intensity of solar radiation as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere due to scattering and absorption by particles and gases in the air. This leads to variations in the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface at different times and in different locations. Decibels and sones are units of measurement for sound, while air pockets are pockets of air enclosed within a substance or material.
