When nearly vertical rays of solar energy strike a region of the earth thhat has warm temperatures. What region of the earth is nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?
The tropics.
How does a solar eclipse compare to a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This is a Solar: And this a Lunar:
What is solar constant and their formula?
The solar constant is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area, measured on the outer surface of Earth's atmosphere in a plane perpendicular to the rays. See link for formula
Why are the two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because that's where the solar rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle. And the earths rotation on a tilt causes the Solstice and Equinox.
Which of the earth's poles receives the most direct rays from sun?
The distribution of incoming solar radiation during the course of a year is exactly equal at both poles, and neither of them ever receives any 'direct' rays.
What process produces rays that travel in all directions?
Scattering
Is scattering a natural process that keeps earths atmosphere warm?
No, scattering has nothing to do with keeping the earth warm. Scattering refers to the way rays of light, or radiation or other particles have to change direction, often when they bump into something.
When nearly vertical rays of solar energy strike a region of the earth thhat has warm temperatures. What region of the earth is nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?
The tropics.
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
What are Electrically charged particles that are carried to the earth called?
Solar Rays
How does solar energy reach earth?
through the mantlethrough the suns rays
What is the name of the thing that protects the earth from solar rays?
Ozone layer
Could gamma rays be blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
How do solar panels help your earth?
By saving power because of sun rays
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
Oblique.
What can solar rays also be called?
Another names for solar rays is UV rays.
What caused rays around craters on the moon?
debris scattering
