What else can I help you with?
When the sun light hits the earth what does it do?
About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light. Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.
How can the clouds cool the earth?
Less light hits it
How much light does earth have?
it has light for 12 hours
Is earth dense or light and fluffy?
Clouds are light and fluffy. Earth? Not so much.
What properties of the dark side of the moon prohibit it from reflecting light?
The only property of the "dark" side of the Moon that keep it from reflecting light is that not much light falls on the "dark" side of the Moon. That's why it is dark! However, this is something of a misnomer. When the Moon is at its crescent phase, when the majority of the illuminated half of the Moon is turned away from Earth, you can still see the "dark side" of the Moon, shining by reflected Earthshine! The light of the Sun hits the Earth, and bounces off. (Not only is the Earth much bigger than the Moon, but it is also much more reflective. You think the full Moon is bright? Wait until you're on the Moon and you see the Full Earth!) The Earth reflects light - more than the Moon does - and some of that light hits the Moon. Only a small percentage of the Earthshine that hits the Moon is reflected back to Earth, but it is enough to see the dimly gibbous Moon with the brilliant crescent.
How old is sunlight when it hits Earth?
it is estimated that it takes approximately 8 mins for light for the sun to reach the earths crust
When sun light hits the earth it is called?
Oh sh*t i'm burning
What is the sun most responsible in producing?
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
What if the moon is bigger than the earth?
there will much light
Why does Earth get more sun light than Pluto?
Because earth is much, much closer to the sun that Pluto.
When suns light hits a surface of the earth more directly as the area around the equator what happens?
the earth would probably explode
Why is antarctica colder then Atlantic?
The Antarctic region is much colder than the Atlantic region for two main reasons: 1. The Antarctic receives a lot less sunlight. The earth's axis is on a tilt, which causes seasons as the earth travels around the sun. During the antarctic winter, much of the region goes without sunlight for many months at a time. 2. The Antarctic region is at a very low angle relative to the sun's light. The equator receives the sun's light at about a 90 degree angle, or straight on. This means the full force of the light hits the surface of the earth. At the poles however, the low angle means the light hits the surface of the earth with much less intensity, so what little sunlight the Arctic gets isn't very strong.
