insolation
Which planet is called glossy planet?
There is no planet that is called the "glossy planet".
What planet receives the most energy from the sun?
Mars is the closest planet to the sun, and receives the most energy.
What is a planet orbiting another planet called?
A moon? I don't think a planet orbiting another planet would be called a planet.
What happens to precipitation that reaches earth's surface?
It either accumulates as snow and ice in the colder parts of the planet, can soak into the ground or run off the surface as rivers in the warmer parts of the planet. The water at the Earth's surface is constantly being circulated in the biosphere of the planet in what is known as the hydrological cycle.
What is the solar energy that reaches the planet called?
insolation
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
The point in a planet's orbit where it reaches its maximum distance from the Sun is called the Aphelion.
Solar energy travels to the earth in?
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
What is the energy transformation that occurs when the sun's energy reaches earth?
The primary thing that happens when heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the earth is that its own temperature rises. The atmosphere traps in much of this heat which creates the warm climates of the planet.
Energy from the sun travel to earth's surface by what?
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
At what part of an elliptical orbit does a satellite have the greatest speed the least speed?
in the orbit of a planet there is a point called perihelion which is closest point to the sun and aphelion which is furthest from the sun . Moment of a planet in it's elliptical orbit reaches it's maximum in perihelion
Where in the material creation does electrical energy originate?
what you call on this planet are called neutrinos...
What is this trapping of heat called?
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which planet will light from the Sun reaches last?
Neptune
Why earth is called the blue planet?

Is Pluto a dwarf planet found between mars and Jupiter?
No - it was formerly a planet on the outer reaches of the solar system but is no longer classified as a planet
What causes the thickness of the crust?
The movements and processes occurring in the planet called plate tectonics, driven by the heat energy coming form the planet's core.
