How much more sunlight on Mars than on Earth?
Mars gets LESS sunlight than Earth does, because of its greater distance from the Sun.
How much time it take to reach sunlight to earth?
about seven minutes
How do you explain how the phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the earth and the position of the sun?
the phases of the y how much sunlight the moon is moon are caused by how much sunlight the moon is reflecting
Is solar energy nonrenewble?
Solar energy is renewable. No matter how much sunlight we use, the sun continues to shine, and it is expected to do so for billions of years in the future.
Is energy absorbed or reflected by earth?
The solar energy that reaches the Earth is called insolation.Of the incoming solar radiation 16% is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, 3%is absorbed by clouds and 51%is absorbed by the earth's surface, making a total of 70%.
How much energy can the sun provide?
According to the American Solar Energy Society, enough sunlight falls on the earth's surface each minute to meet world energy demand for an entire year.
How much of earth is exposed to sunlight?
At any given time, half (50%) of Earth is exposed to sunlight.
How much of earth is in sunlight when a autumnal equinox occurs?
Half of Earth is illuminated by the sun at all times.
How much sunlight reaches earth everyday?
Lots!
What are two primary sources of energy that power living things?
Point out that both processes use energy to produce carbohydrates-energy-rich compounds that organisms can use to power life processes. Energy in Biological Systems Students may think that energy is formed, or created, by the processes of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
How much more sunlight on Mars than on Earth?
Mars gets LESS sunlight than Earth does, because of its greater distance from the Sun.
How does direct sunlight affect the earth?
Too much heat depletes the ozone layer making earth more warmer.
How much mass is added to the Earth per day by vegetation using solar energy to bind water and minerals to form hydrocarbons?
The activity described doesn't really add mass to the earth. The mass is already here, and the sunlight (electromagnetic energy) is converted into chemical energy to arrange or rearrange the atoms and molecules into new configurations. response: You say the sunlight is converted into chemical energy. This chemical energy (the bonding energies) then resides within the vegetable matter. The energy of sunlight is therefore captured on this planet. The energy equivalence principle would then indicate that the mass of the planet had been increased. Mass equals energy.
Why is there less energy arriving at the surface of the earth in this country in winter than in summer?
In England we get less energy in winter because we are in the northern hemisphere and in winter the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun so we dont get as much sunlight which is our energy.
How much time it take to reach sunlight to earth?
about seven minutes
What would happen if the layers of gas around the earth absorbed all the suns energy?
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.
