Light is radiated from the surface of the Sun. The gas and plasma within the Sun are opaque, and no light can escape from the inside.

How the moon lights up?
The moon lights up because it reflects the sunlight towards the earth. When a side of the moon is shaded in means that this part is not lit up by sunlight
What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
Where is the part of Apollo 11 which came back to earth where is it placed now?
The command module is the only part to come back to earth, it is now in Washington.
Does geothermal energy come from the sun?
No. It comes from the Earth's internal heat sources. The "geo" part of geothermal means Earth.
Why does the moon appears to change shapes?
the moon appears to change shapes because you only see the part of it that reflects sunlight THAT YOU CAN SEE. so of the 1/2 of the moon that is illuminated, you only see part of it, the part changing as the moon orbits the earth.
What part of the earth is the warmest and why?
the equater is the warmest part of the earth because it's the fatest part of the earth. Which means the equater gets the most sunlight to allow it to heat up.
Does sunlight follow earth's axis?
Sunlight does not follow the Earth's axis. The Earth's seasons are determined, in part, by the Sun's position to the Earth's axis.
Which part of the earth less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
Where is northern and southern part of the earth get the least direct sunlight?
in antartica & brazil
Why would there be no seasons if the earth wasnt tilted on its axis?
A season is the result of how direct sunlight is received over a part of the earth. Because of the earth's axial tilt (it does not spin perpendicularly to its orbit around the sun), the hemisphere receiving the most direct sunlight alternates between the northern and southern hemispheres. If the earth had zero axial tilt, the directness of sunlight would not vary throughout the year aside from orbital perihelion/aphelion (which has a much smaller effect than the axial tilt).
Which part of the earth receive less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
Why do earth have season?
That's because Earth's axis is tilted (as compared to a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation). As a result, during part of the year, the northern hemisphere receives more sunlight; during another part of the year, the southern hemisphere receives more sunlight.
The most sunlight reaches the surface of the earth in which geographic region?
The part of Earth that is consistently closest to the Sun is alongside the Equator of the earth. This is the widest part of the Earth's circumference between the North and South Poles.
Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?
Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]
How does the sun heat parts of the earth that do not receive much direct sunlight?
Because the rays of the sun is so hot it will heat any part of the earth witout being hit my direct sunlight
When more sunlight shines on one part of the earth than the other?
in summer? i think :P
What part of earth can receive up to 24 hours of sunlight a day?
Areas near the Equator
