Insolation vs. Insulation: What's the Difference?

The act or an instance of exposing to sunlight.

The act of insulating or the state of being insulated.

Therapeutic exposure to sunlight.

A material or substance used in insulating

See sunstroke.

The act of insulating; detachment from other objects; isolation.

The solar radiation striking Earth or another planet.

The state of being insulated; detachment from other objects; isolation.

The rate of delivery of solar radiation per unit of horizontal surface.

Any of a variety of materials designed to reduce the flow of heat, either from or into a building.

The incident radiant energy emitted by the sun which reaches a unit area over a period of time, typically measured over a horizontal area at the Earth's surface or at the top of Earth's atmosphere.

(engineering) The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity, heat, or sound

The rate of delivery of such radiation.

(engineering) The state of a body so separated.

The act or process of exposing to the rays of the sun, such as for the purpose of medical treatment, drying or maturing, as fruits, drugs, etc., or of rendering acid, as vinegar.

(electricity) a medium in which it is possible to maintain an electrical field with little supply of energy from additional sources.

Sunstroke.

The act of insulating, or the state of being insulated; detachment from other objects; isolation.

The act or process to exposing to the rays of the sun for the purpose of drying or maturing, as fruits, drugs, etc., or of rendering acid, as vinegar.

The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity or of heat; also, the state of a body so separated.

A sunstroke.

The material or substance used to insulate from either electrical or thermal conduction; as, fiberglass is used as thermal insulation in the walls and roofs of houses.

The amount of sunlight impinging on the Earth's surface.

The state of being isolated or detached;

Sudden prostration due to exposure to the sun or excessive heat

A material that reduces or prevents the transmission of heat or sound or electricity

Incident solar radiation

The act of protecting something by surrounding it with material that reduces or prevents the transmission of sound or heat or electricity

Therapeutic exposure to sunlight
