What planets suns rays are seven times stronger than earths?
The one closer to the sun.
What is the difference of the stars and the planets?
Planets are large rocky or gaseous bodies found orbiting a star. Stars are are much larger bodies of gas, who have sufficient pressure and heat to sustain fusion. Planets are much smaller compared to stars. Stars also give out energy in the form of light (sun rays) planets just absorb it. Ex. the sun is a star, earth is a planet.
Do any outer planets have the greenhouse effect?
Yes, outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have the greenhouse effect, but it is not as significant as on Earth due to their different compositions and much larger distances from the Sun. These planets have thick atmospheres with gases that trap heat, contributing to their overall temperatures.
Do any other planets have an atmosphere that shelters it from the sun's rays?
yes, some other planets like Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have atmospheres
Why is light from stars and planets considered to be parallel light?
Light from stars and planets is considered parallel because the sources are at vast distances from Earth compared to their size, resulting in light rays arriving nearly parallel to each other when observed from Earth. This is due to the large distance between Earth and the celestial bodies, making the rays of light effectively parallel by the time they reach us.
Does Earths stratosphere help support the planets life?
UV rays causes skin cancer and has a chronic effect on the eye, skin and immune system. therefore the stratosphere protects the earth from such UV rays which are harmful for the living organisms on earth.
Which planet's sun rays are seven times stronger than earth's?
Venus has sun rays that are seven times stronger than Earth's due to its dense atmosphere that traps heat and creates a greenhouse effect.
Which planet has a layer in the atmosphere the ozone layor that protects the planets from the suns dangerous rays?
Earth is that lucky planet. It has got a shield of ozone.
Does the temperature rise most from the direct rays or slanted rays?
The temperature rises most from direct rays because they are more concentrated than slanted rays. Direct rays hit the Earth's surface more directly, leading to more heat absorption compared to slanted rays that are spread over a larger area.
How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
Are all of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrive as oblique rays?
No, not all solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. Solar energy reaches the Earth in the form of parallel rays, but the angle at which these rays strike the surface varies based on the Earth's curvature and its axial tilt. This variation causes some regions to receive sunlight more directly (perpendicular rays) while others receive it at an angle (oblique rays). Consequently, the intensity of solar energy varies across different locations and times of the year.
How does the angle of which the suns rays strike the earth affect the temp at the earths surface?
The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface affects the intensity of the sunlight spread over a larger or smaller area, impacting the surface temperature. When the sun's rays hit the Earth at a higher angle (closer to perpendicular), the energy is concentrated over a smaller area, leading to higher temperatures. Conversely, when the angle is lower (closer to parallel), the energy is spread over a larger area, resulting in lower temperatures.
