Answer 1

The effect of solar radiation on environment :

1.Overexposure to solar radiation can change the flowering times of some kinds of plants and therefore will affect the animals that depend on them.

2.With regard to plants, excess solar radiationimpairs photosynthesis in many species. Overexposure to solar radiation reduces size, productivity, and quality in many of the crop plant species that have been studied (among them, many varieties of rice, soybeans, winter wheat, cotton,
