The Sun is the main source of energy for most living things on earth.
If you look at a food web, the Sun first has to give sunlight to the producers, or plants. These plants use the sunlight to photosynthesize and make glucose to survive. Herbivores, or plant eaters, eat these plants for their glucose and other nutrients to survive. These herbivores are primary consumers. There are carnivores, meat eaters, that eat these herbivores, and these are the secondary consumers. Then, more carnivores eat the carnivores that eat the herbivores, and these are the tertiary consumers.
Basically, the energy of the sun flows from plants, to herbivores, to carnivores, and to top-level carnivores. 10% of the energy made by the plants goes to the herbivores, and 10% of that to the carnivores, and then another 10% to the top-level carnivores. The energy of the Sun is transferred throughout the entire food web, and without food, nothing on earth can survive.
Thus, the point of the Sun is to help the living organisms on earth survive.
What else can I help you with?
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
What is the orbital far point?
The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.
Is the equator the closest point to the sun?
no
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
What is the orbital far point?
The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.
What point in a planets oribits is closest to the sun?
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
At what time of day is the sun at its highest point in the sky?
The sun is at its highest point in the sky at noon.
The horns of the crescent moon point where?
The horns of the crescent moon point in the direction of the sun.
Is the Sun's core its hottest point?
the sun's core is the hottest part of the sun
What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What is the farthest point of a planet's orbit from the sun?
The 'Apogee'. is the furthest point on a planets orbital track about the Sun. The 'Perigee' is the corresponding nearest point.
What is the point of the planet Mercury closest to the sun?
Mercury rotates (slowly) as it orbits the Sun. So, the point that's closest to the Sun changes with time.
What is the point when earth is closest to the sun calles?
That's the point in Earth's orbit called "perihelion".The point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun is "aphelion".
