Which layer of the sun radiates light?

That would be an outer layer called the, "Photosphere".


The layer of the sun that radiates most of the light that reaches earth is called the?

The Photosphere is the layer of the sun or any star that radiates light. This layer is extended into the Sun's surface until its plasma shows opacity, and reaches the equivalent of an optical depth of two-thirds. The Photosphere is the deepest part of a star that has photon transparency depending on wavelength.


How does the light travel from the sun?

It radiates outwards in all directions at about 300,000 kilometres per second. A tiny percentage of that light reaches our earth about eight minutes after leaving the sun.


Most of the Sun's ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface?

No, most of the Sun's ultraviolet light is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly by the ozone layer. Only a small fraction of ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface, which is why it is important to protect ourselves from its harmful effects with sunscreen and protective clothing.


Which layer of the sun is responsible for making light?

The layer of the Sun responsible for producing light is the photosphere. It is the visible surface of the Sun and emits the light we see from Earth. The energy generated in the core through nuclear fusion eventually reaches the photosphere, where it is released as sunlight.


What layer of the sun Emmetts visible light?

The layer of the Sun that emits visible light is the photosphere. It is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, where the temperature is around 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). The photosphere is where we see sunspots and solar phenomena, and it acts as the primary source of sunlight that reaches Earth.


What does some of the light that radiates from a star do?

Some of the light that radiates from a star travels through space, interacting with objects or being absorbed. Some of it reaches planets, where it can warm surfaces, support photosynthesis, or allow us to see the world around us.


Does the Earth produce its own light?

The earth does not produce its own light but it reflects the light rays from the sun that reaches its surface.


Is earth a source of light?

No, the Earth is not a source of light itself. The Earth's primary source of light is the Sun, which emits light and energy that reaches the Earth and illuminates it. The Earth reflects some of this light, which is why we can see it.


What is the light ray that reaches the earth at night called?

moon


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 is the definition of a primary light source?

The primary light source is the sun for the planet Earth.
