The amount of light and warmth a planet receives depends on their distance from the sun and the atmosphere. If the atmosphere has high levels of Carbon Dioxide, the gases will trap more heat.
well what affects solar energy i dont have a clue the question is what affects the amount of the solar energy that the planet receives.....
Energy emitted by the Sun Distance from the Sun Reflectance of the planet Radius of the planet Green house effect of the planet's atmosphere
Measuring sunshine is essentially measuring the amount of solar radiation that is received at a given location. This is usually measured in terms of hours of sunshine which is the amount of time in a day when the sun is visible in the sky. This can be broken down further into direct sunshine which is the amount of time when the sun is directly visible and diffuse sunshine which is the amount of time when the sun is partially visible due to clouds or other atmospheric effects. The most common way to measure sunshine is with a sunshine recorder which is an instrument that records the amount of solar radiation that reaches the instrument. These are often placed in open unobstructed areas that get full exposure to the sun. Other instruments such as pyranometers and pyrheliometers measure the total amount of solar radiation in a given area. Sunshine can also be measured in terms of its intensity. This is usually measured by the amount of light energy (measured in W/m2) that reaches the surface of the earth. This is usually measured with a lux meter which measures the light intensity at a given location.

The two factors affecting sunlight intensity are latitude and time of year
Factors that determine carrying capacity are the amount of resources available and population. Other factors are land area and amount of water.
Determinants of demand include factors that determine the amount that will be purchased at each price
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
The first factor is the amount of rain an area receives, the second factor is vegetation, the third factor is the type of soil, the fourth factor is the shape of land, and the final factor is how people use the land.

Of the US states, Michigan and Washington receive the least amount of sunshine per year.
the three factors that determine the energy cycle are solar power, electricity, and heat.
thrust and wing size determine the amount of lift achieved by an air plane.
The factors which affect soil pH levels are the amount of rainfall, the amount of plants and the number of soil organisms.
