How far down does sunlight go in an ocean?
Sunlight can penetrate into the ocean to an average depth of about 200 meters (656 feet). This depth can vary depending on factors such as water clarity, time of day, and geographic location. Beyond this depth, the ocean becomes progressively darker as less sunlight is able to penetrate.
At what depth does light fail to penetrate water?
The upper 100 -200 m of the ocean is called the Photic zone (photo = light).At about 150 meters 99% of light is absorbed.Beyond the Photic zone, light does not penetrate, and it is pitch dark.
