Jupiter receives very little sunlight. About 5 Astronomical Unit (AU) or 1/25th the amount of sunlight that the Earth receives, reaches the surface of Jupiter.

Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
Why do few large plants beneath conifers?
two reasons that few large plants grow beneath the tree of a coniferous forest are the ground beneath the trees are covered with a thick layer of needles. Very little sun light reaches the ground.
Why do shiny surfaces reflect light better than dull surfaces?
its because the drop of the water is like a concave lens
Why does water on a waterfall turn white?
the bubbles are caused by kinetic energy of the water forcing some of the pure oxygen (o2) mixed in with the water (h2o) being pushed to the surface, because the oxygen is much lighter and much less dense the water
How could you change the size of your shadow?
You can either move closer to the light source or move the light source closer to you. The size of your shadow just depends upon how much of the light you are obscuring so the more you block out, the bigger your shadow.
How much sunlight reaches mars surface?
not much
Is Jupiters surface crusty?
No but it usta be but the gases esolved the surface but I my self think there still is but not as much 90 % is mostly is gases .
When the sun light hits the earth what does it do?
About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light. Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.
What Satun's surface look like?
Dim fog. Saturn is a gas giant so there is no hard "surface", it is far from the Sun so there is much less light reaching it than reaches Earth.
How much light on the earth surface?
it is 70% so that is the answer of how much light on the earth surface
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
What is Jupiters highest temperature?
The average surface temperature of Jupiter is around -234 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the temperature of Jupiter is much colder than Earth because of the planet's distance from the sun.
How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?
The amount of energy reaching a given area from a source of radiant energy is dependent on the angle of incidence of the energy. Radiation that contacts a surface at an angle of 60° from the normal has half as much energy per unit of surface area as radiation that is parallel to the normal, radiation that reaches the surface at 70.53° from the normal has one third the energy per unit of area, radiation at 75.52° from the normal has one fourth as much energy, and so on. Therefore, if light is contacting a surface that absorbs some of it and converts it to heat, the angle of incidence of the light will affect the temperature. Such is the reason why winters are colder than summers.
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
Which smooth surfaces reflect light?
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
Why does the desert have so much sun?
The air is very dry in the desert. Because the air is so dry, more of the sunshine reaches the surface. In other places where there is more water vapor in the air, the water vapor filters out more of the sunshine before it reaches the earth's surface.
