Which layer of the sun radiates light?
That would be an outer layer called the, "Photosphere".
How does a star keep shining?
A star shines due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. This energy radiates outwards, providing the star with heat and light. This process can last for billions of years until the star exhausts its nuclear fuel.
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.
Why the sun a star but the moon is not?
A star is an object that radiates its own heat and light. A typical star is a superheated ball of hydrogen and helium that releases energy through nuclear fusion. The moon is much smaller and less massive than any star and is mostly made of rock. It does not produce its own light, but simply reflects light from the sun.
Where does the suns energy go?
It radiates into space, never to come back.It radiates into space, never to come back.It radiates into space, never to come back.It radiates into space, never to come back.
Where is some of the light that radiates from a star come from?
I call it star light. Some more erudite folks might refer to it as stellar electromagnetic radiation.
What do stars do?
A star generates light and heat by nuclear fusion and radiates it away via elctromagnetic radiation.
How does Sirius receive it's light?
Sirius does not receive or reflect light, it transmits or radiates light. Sirius is a Star and thus similar to our Sun and thus converts Hydrogen into light by nuclear fusion.
What affects the luminosity of a star?
The total amount of light that the star radiates each second.
What radiates or reflects light?
Bright!
What are the caues of ultraviolet light?
It is a form of light that radiates from the sun.
What is the definition of a primary light source?
The primary light source is the sun for the planet Earth.
Which layer of the sun radiates light?
That would be an outer layer called the, "Photosphere".
Earths nearest star radiates what type of energy?
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
Name a huge gas sphere that radiates light?
The Sun.
Why is a radiator like a light bulb?
because it radiates heat
