What does clouds protect us from?
Clouds are not a form of protection. They dim the sunlight we receive but do not filter UV radiation. They can and do reduce light and infra red radiation reaching the surface of the earth
What is energy that come to earth form the sun?
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
Eventually all the energy that reaches the earth's surface is?
Radiated away as heat. If the Earth lost energy constantly, it would eventually freeze; if it gained energy constantly, it would eventually boil. The Earth has an energy balance; equal amounts of energy are absorbed by the Earth as sunlight as are radiated away as heat. If the Earth were to become too warm, more clouds would form, reflecting light away and causing the Earth to cool down. If the Earth were to get too cold, fewer clouds would form, allowing more heat and light in. However, over the past few million years, the Earth has had more ice ages than moderate periods.
What are solar collectors?
A solar collector is a device for extracting the energy of the sun directly into a more usable or storable form. The energy in sunlight is in the form of electromagnetic radiation from the infrared (long) to the ultraviolet (short) wavelengths. The solar energy striking the earth's surface at any one time depends on weather conditions, as well as location and orientation of the surface, but overall, it averages about 1000 watts per square meter under clear skies with the surface directly perpendicular to the sun's rays.
Why do clouds form more in the air than on earth's surface?
the white clouds
How long energy sun take to get to earth?
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
In what form geothermal energy is stored?
Geothermal energy is energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth.
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
The energy that warms Earth's surface comes primarily in the form of?
Visible light from the Sun
Water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again in a process known as the water cycle. Which of the following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
Solar energy
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
The energy waves that produce an earthquake begin on the surface or within the earth?
The energy waves form at the focus which is the location within Earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs
When the earth's crust moves what happens to the earth's surface?
The Earth's surface will change its shape and form.
What is the form of energy you receive through your eyes?
Light Energy
Which two types of rock can form on the Earth's surface?
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.
What type of rock can form deep Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
igneous
Why is the earth warm enough for life to exist as you know it?
Because it is just far enough form the Sun to receive enough energy form the Sun to have liquid water on it.
