Why do space telescopes collect more kinds of data then telescopes on earth?
Earth's atmosphere partially blocks or absorbs certain wavelengths of radiation, e.g. UV, gamma rays, X-rays, before they can reach Earth's surface. All these wavelengths contain useful information and a telescope outside (beyond) the atmosphere can make use of them too.
What absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays before they reach earth?
The ozone layer present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere protects us from the harmdul rays of the sun. These are high frequency ultraviolet radiations which can cause some serious problems to living beings.
Does it take 215 or 2000 or 2000000 or 20000000 for the sun to reach the earth?
The Sun won't reach the Earth any time soon.The sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.The Sun won't reach the Earth any time soon.The sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.The Sun won't reach the Earth any time soon.The sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.The Sun won't reach the Earth any time soon.The sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
How many time do sunshine's take to reach at earth?
It take's about eight minutes for sun to reach earth
How long does it takes the sunlight to reach the Earth?
It takes light around 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach the earth from the sun.

How does sunlight come to earth?
Electromagnetic energy from the Sun crosses the interplanetary void in about 8 minutes to reach Earth. The energy reaches us as electromagnetic radiation in a very wide range of wavelengths. Some of these wavelengths can be sensed directly by humans as heat and light. Some wavelengths (frequencies) are transformed by interaction with matter into other wavelengths that interact with the hydrosphere, biosphere, etc. to make life on Earth possible.

Before the suns ray can reach earth surface they have topass through the?
the atmosphere
Why does a meteroid not reach earth?
Burns up before entering the Earths atmosphere
What speed does a space shuttle reach before leaving the earth's atmosphere?
The space shuttle reaches 17,850 mph before leaving earth's atmosphere.
What is the color that an object appears to be determined by?
It is determined by the wavelengths of light that reach your eyes.
Why the sky appears to change color?
At dusk and dawn the colors of the sky change and the first portion of the visible spectrum is what appears to the viewer. During these times of the day the sun is positioned at a different angle to the earth than during the normal daytime. Because of this angle, the longer wavelengths are the ones that reach the eye. The blue and other shorter wavelengths are scattered millions of times and do not reach the viewer. When the sun does not shine directly on a certain portion of the earth there are more gas molecules between the viewer and the sun. Therefore, the normal blue color of he sky is no longer visible because the short wavelengths of blue and green are scattered millions of times and do not reach the viewer
How does antibiotics from the small intestine reach the right foot?
The small intestine absorbs nutrients before material reaches the large intestine. So the antibiotic would be absorbed.
What happens to most of the meteors that enter the atmosphere?
They would burn up before they reach the Earth.
Why is it usually cooler at night?
At night, the Sun's electromagnetic radiation does not reach the dark side of Earth. Therefore the atmosphere on Earth's night side emits more energy into space than it absorbs, so the air temperature increases. this is because of fronts
