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 much sunlight reaches earth everyday?
Lots!
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
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%
How much light on the earth surface?
it is 70% so that is the answer of how much light on the earth surface
How much light reaches Jupiter's surface?
Jupiter receives very little sunlight. About 5 Astronomical Unit (AU) or 1/25th the amount of sunlight that the Earth receives, reaches the surface of Jupiter.
Why are planets seen only at night?
A planets visibility from Earth depends on its distance, distance from the sun and size. Smaller and/or further planets will be much dimmer. Venus can be the brightest, but it is much smaller than Uranus or Neptune for example. It is more visible due to it being much closer, and closer to the sun.
What type of sunlight does Saturn have?
Saturn does not generate its own star light, but instead reflects the light of our sun. At 9 AU, 1/9^2 as much solar energy reaches Saturn as Earth. That is a little more than 1%.
What Satun's surface look like?
Dim fog. Saturn is a gas giant so there is no hard "surface", it is far from the Sun so there is much less light reaching it than reaches Earth.
How much light does earth have?
it has light for 12 hours
Why would solar panels generate less electrical energy on mars than earth?
Mars is always further away from the sun than the earth is. Therefore, the light that reaches the surface on mars is much weaker than on earth, so solar panels are not quite as effective.
