How do gravity and fusion have opposite effects on a star?
This fusion gives off energy, which expands the surface of the star. Gravity pulls the outer parts of a red giant towards the center.
Suns core releases heat by what process?
Our sun release energy by a process called convection. Inside the star, energy is transported towards the surface through radiation, but about 1/3 of the outer layer of the star is markedly cooler than the core and the energy is transported by convection from the core to this layer.
Explain Why the sun is major source is energy?
Sun is the source of heat and light energy. It provides energy on earth's surface.
Does geothermal energy depend on the sun?
Geothermal energy does not depend on the sun. Geothermal energy is energy that comes from about 55 feet below Earth's surface.

What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
What happens when light strikes translucent material?
-- A portion of the light energy reflects back from the surface of the material. -- A portion of thelight energy is absorbed into the material and never seen again. -- The remainder of the light energy proceeds on through the material and emerges unbowed and undeterred from the other side.
What in sound energy?
Results from the integral particle velocity v of the surface A , whereby only the portions perpendicularly to the surface acoustic velocity are important.
When light hits an object most of the light is absorbed by what?
simple when a light strikes a surface the amount of energy that refactes that surface is generally aborbed by the object(material) which it aabsorbs the energy from light.
Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.
What happen when light strikes a translucent material?

What materials are the results of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water are produced. Energy is also produced but that's not a material.
Why can't you see through opaque material?
In order for a material to be transparent (see-through), the light energy that impacts the material must be transmitted through the material and "released" on the other side unchanged. In order for this to happen, the molecules of the material must vibrate at the frequency of the light energy in such a way that the energy is not changed into another form - ie. the energy is not absorbed and used to heat the material, nor is the energy reflected off the surface. Opaque materials' molecules keep the energy or reflect it back, but don't pass it through.
What happens to sunlight when it strikes a dark black material?
Most of it is converted into heat energy, that is ... it ceases to exist.
Increased temperature usually results in?
An increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules that a materiel is formed from. This can lead to a softening of the material or if enough energy is supplied the melting of the material. It can also cause chemical reactions which may alter the material. Both these processes occur in metamorphic rocks.
Why do some materials absorbe better then others?
The absorption of a material has a lot to do with the molecular structure and the "surface energy" of the constiuent particles. Also a material with great surface area (made up of fibers or porous) will absorb more as there is more surface to aid the uptake of liquid.
How does solar radiation heat up the earth's surface?
The sun converts hydrogen to light energy. This energy must travel through space, where there are no particles. To go through space, the energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. When these waves hit the Earth's surface, they are absorbed by the typeof material at the top (rock, soil, water). As the waves are absorbes, they release their energy into the material's particles. This causes the particles to vibrate faster, causeing heat.
