It's slightly less in July, when the earth is farthest from the sun, and slightly more in January,

when the earth is closest to the sun. But these differences are very small.

Do all areas of the earth average the same amount of sun?

In terms of the simple visibility of the sun in the sky, yes. In terms of the amount of energy from the sun hitting the earth, no.


How much of the sunlight hitting the moon is reflected to earth during a full moon?

Around 7%.


Why is solar energy prevented from reaching the moon during a solar eclipse?

The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.


What is the total number of joules hitting the earth each year?

The total amount of solar energy hitting the Earth each year is estimated to be about 173,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (173 exajoules). This energy drives processes such as climate patterns, ocean currents, and photosynthesis.


What would happen to the amount of energy received from the Sun if the rotation of the Earth changed?

Nothing. Provided the earth remains in the same orbit, then a change of rotation would not change the amount of solar energy reaching the earth.


Does the amount of energy on Earth stay the same?

there is power hitting the face of the earth from the sun and universe emissions. and there is radiated power from the core and surface leaving earth. but if you do not look at those, it can be said that the amount of energy on this earth remains the same all the way down to the last thousandth of a joule (or deeper).


The total amount of water on earth is?

The earth is composed of 3/4 water and 1/4 land.


How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth affect the energy the earth receives?

The angle of sunlight hitting the earth affects the amount of energy the earth receives because sunlight is spread over a larger area when it hits at a lower angle, resulting in less concentrated energy. This can impact the intensity of heat and light received at the surface, influencing weather patterns and climate.


How has life changed during Earth's history?

New government, Wars have settled, No dinosaurs, etc.


Is eclipse a planet?

No. An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth, and a lunar eclipse is the shadow of the Earth hitting the Moon.


Do you have the same amount of water on earth had when the dinosaurs when they were on this planet?

In all likelihood, probably. The water cycle would make sure that all the water on the Earth would be used, evaporated, and then sent down into the Earth over time. The amounts of water may have changed slightly over time, but the relative amount of water hasn't changed much at all, just the water placement and it's distribution.
