What is energy that come to earth form the sun?
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
What happens to the tides when the moon and sun form a 90 degree angle with earth?
Nothing happens
How does energy from the sun enters the atmosphere?
The energy from the sun enters the atmsphere as radiation. This radiation is tranmited to the earth in the form of short waves of radiation. These waves hit the ground.Through radiation.
What process does the sun do to give heat to earth?
The energy of the sun is produced by the process of nuclear fusion, and a portion of this energy reaches the Earth in the form of sunlight, which heats the Earth.
A form of energy that travels as waves from the sun to the earth is?
electromagnetic radiation
Earth receives energy from the sun in what form?
Radiation
Where does Earth get its energy from?
The Sun. Earth receives 1370 Watts per square meter of area of solar energy
Why is earth system resemble a closed system?
The state of the Earth's climate is dependent on the amount of energy stored by the entire system, and in particular the balance between the amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun, in the form of light and ultraviolet waves, and the amount of energy the Earth releases back to space, in the form of infrared heat energy.
How does energy reach the earth?
Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
What portion of earth receives energy form the sun at any given time?
Since the Earth is a Spheroid shape, (not a true sphere) 50% of its surface is illuminated by the Sun, at any given moment.
What happens when earth receives energy from the sun?
The side of the Earth facing the Sun has its surface, atmosphere and oceans heated but the energy form the Sun. This then starts convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans as the area of maximum heating (near the equator) tries to distribute the heat to the area of least heating (the poles). The convection currents are moderated by the Earth's rotation due to the Coriolis effect.
What eventually happens to all the energy earth's gets?
All the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. All the energy that Earth uses is either stored as "potential energy" or radiated away as heat.
When you increase energy in one form what happens to the energy in the other forms?
it changes form
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.
What is energy that come to earth form the sun?
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
What form of energy does earth not have?
Dark Matter
In what form geothermal energy is stored?
Geothermal energy is energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the solid earth.
