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 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 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
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
How much uv light is in sunlight?
Sunlight is composed of three types of ultraviolet (UV) light: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA accounts for about 95% of the UV light that reaches the Earth's surface, while UVB makes up the remaining 5%. UVC is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and does not reach the surface.
What takes longer to reach earth light from the sun or light from other stars?
Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars
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.
How much visible light reachesth earth?
About 47% of the sunlight that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is visible light. Of this, approximately 30% is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and the Earth's surface, while the remaining 70% is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere. This absorbed light is essential for photosynthesis and drives various climate and weather processes on Earth. Overall, only a fraction of the total solar energy is converted into visible light that can support life.
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.
How much light does earth have?
it has light for 12 hours
