How much sunlight reaches mars surface?
not much
What is solar wave how much height it reaches?
I don't recognise your terms 'solar wave' and 'height'. Solar energy is emitted from the sun and reaches earth as radiation in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared bands. the totoal falling on 1 square meter of earths surface (on average) is 230 watts.
How does the amount of energy produced by the Sun compared with the amount of energy that reaches Earth from the Sun?
If we assume that the sun emits energy at the same rate in all directions, then the ratio is(4 pi) (distance to the sun)2 / (pi) (earth radius)2 = 2,162,250,000 times as much,or about 93 dB more.
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
What are 2 characteristics that affect the temperature of a planet?
Distance from the Sun (for star systems not our own, distance from the primary star(s)) the closer to a star the more energy reaches the planet. Atmospheric composition - how much energy gets to the surface and how much is trapped in. Terrestrial composition; what the solid stuff is made of and how it reacts with stellar/solar energies. Some things reflect light back, others absorb the energy and radiate it back as heat. Also, for planets not around the Sun, the size and energy output (heat) of the star(s) would be factored in. :P
How much of the energy in burning coal reaches the consumer as electricity?
One third of coal's energy reaches the consumer.
How much of the Sun's energy reaches the earth and why?
half a billionth
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
What grain has the highest amount of energy oats corn barley or wheat?
Oats has a slightly higher amount of energy than corn and wheat, and much more than barley. Oats is, however, much higher in fibre content than either corn, wheat or barley.
In the food chain how much of the Sun's energy is lost as heat before it reaches a producer?
90%
How much solar energy does an owl receive?
Directly, none, unless it is sleeping in sunlight during the day. However, indirectly, it receives all its energy from the sun. The mouse that it eats got energy from the corn it ate. The corn got its energy from the sun (photosynthesis).
Would you receive more energy from corn by eating it direcly or by eating the same mass of beef from a cow that had been fed on corn?
The latter. Corn eaten as a meal, be it corn-on-the-cob or as a side-dish, can only give a person (human) so much energy and nutrients; basically it mostly acts as a gut-filler and not much else. We can get some protein and energy from it, but it doesn't stay in the stomach and get digested as thoroughly as meat does. Energy from meat is released slowly over time as the amino acid enzymes in the stomach break down the meat, giving us a long-term burn of energy to use. Corn or any fruit and vegetable, only acts as a quick-burst of energy, then decreases as soon as it came.
How much of the suns energy is actually received here on earth?
~.08
Would you eat the chicken or the corn in an energy pyramid?
You would eat the chicken because it uses up energy and does n't transmit much energy into the chiken egg- so it is the most economical way :)
How much energy do you use when sleeping?
Suprisingly you actually use more energy when you are sleeping then when you are awake.
How much of the energy in a gallon of gas is actually used to power a car?
35%
Why does it take so much energy to change a liquid to a solid?
You actually take away energy to turn a liquid into a solid.
