What happens when the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface?
Radiant energy will either be reflected or absorbed by a surface. The usual rule regarding this reflection depends on the color of the object and the color of the light. For example, a red object only reflects red light, and absorbs the rest. A blue object only reflects blue light, and absorbs the rest. This goes for all of the colors. When radiant energy is absorbed, the object will heat up. Hope this helps!
What will happen if the earth loses its gravity?
If the earth loses gravity only high density elements will remain. The rest, water, atmosphere, organic and unorganic inhabitants of earth surface, will fall apart in to open space.
What do you call a meteoroid that hits Earth's surface?
"A meteroid that hits earth's atmosphere becomes a meteor. When it comes to rest on the earth's surface it is then known as a meteorite."Actually, the portion of a meteor that hits the surface of the earth is called a meteorite. A meteor is the steak of light we see acrss the sky, which can be part of a comet, a meteoroid, an asteroid, or any other interplanetary debris we may see from earth. However, a meteor is the larger part that can be seen, but not the actual portion that hits the earth. (Source: Astonomy Today, 6th edition by Chassion & McMillan)
The Earth exchanges with the rest of the cosmos?
The Earth exchanges mass and energy with the rest of the cosmos. This means that the Earth is an open system.
What is the rest of the analogy sun is to earth as earth is to?
sun ;)
What instrument measures the amount of gravitational attraction between Earth and an object at rest on Earth's surface?
scale
Is there a foce acting on object at rest?
The Earth's gravity stops the object from floating when at rest.
What keeps an object at rest from movingn on a surface when a force is applied to the object?
Friction.
How much 100 pounds be on Jupiter?
There are lots of ifs in this question and answer. If the 100 pound Earth object could rest on the outer surface of Jupiter the answer would be 250 pounds. But, Jupiter is a gas planet. That is, Jupiter is primarily made of gas and liquid. So, the object could not rest on the outer surface. There may be a solid surface near it's center but no one knows. Jupiter is 318 times as heavy as Earth so if Jupiter were solid and the size of Earth the object would weigh 318 times a much or 31,800 pounds. But, it is much larger than Earth so the outer surface is much farther from the center. The farther away the object is from the center the less the object will weigh.
An object at rest on the earths surface has two forces acting upon it what are they and why doesnt the object move?
Gravity and the upward force of the surface the object is resting on.
Does an object possess some energy at rest on earth surface?
Will you accept heat? Or would you prefer the potential energy it has before falling down a well? It's all relative.
Do force exist to object at rest?
There CAN be, as long as the force is being counterd by an equal and opposite force.
How do you calculate the speed of AA free falling object?
That depends what data you are given. Close to the Earth's surface, such an object will accelerate at 9.8 meters/second2, so if it starts from rest, after "n" seconds, it will have a speed of "9.8n" meters/second.

Is the rest of the world experiencing the same price rise as we are in the US?
The rest of the world are experiencing worse price rises then the US.
Is earth's surface currently moving away from the rest of the planet?
No. The surface of the earth is held to the planet by gravity. However parts of the surface move relative one to another - this is called plate tectonics.
What percent of the earth's surface is water and what percent is land?
About 71 % of the surface is covered by water. The rest (29 %) is land.
