Want this question answered?
To be more clear, what is the percentage of the intensity of red light compared to the total intensity of sunlight at the earth's surface?
Blackbody radiatiob
The Conservation of Energy or power Law. This gives the inverse distance law of Intensity: Intensity on Earth = intensity on sun (radius/sun distance to earth)2 .
The moon is only big enough to block sunlight from a small spot on the Earth ... never more than about 170 miles across. On the rare occasion when that happens, the event is called a "solar eclipse".An eclipse occurs when the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching Earth. The same is true when the opposite occurs.

No. Earth's shadow blocks sunlight reaching the Moon.

hi
If sunlight stopped reaching the Earth, the Earth would soon freeze solid.
a Lunar Eclipse
The three main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth are the distance between the Earth and the Sun, the angle at which the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface (known as the solar angle), and the amount of atmosphere the sunlight has to travel through before reaching the Earth's surface. These factors determine the intensity and distribution of solar energy received by different parts of the Earth.
