Maybe..... a... interception. :)


What heat rays do you get on earth?

We receive heat rays from the Sun. In fact most of the heat comes from the visible light. Also, some heat comes from other sun rays such as infra red light. However, the atmosphere stops a lot of the Sun's rays before they reach the surface.


Some precipitation never reaches the earth because?

it evapourates again before it reaches the ground


Why sun spots appear cool?

because the magnetic field in that area stops some of the energy from inside the sun reaching the surface and less energy means cooler.


What happens when gamma rays hit the ground or dirt?

Gamma rays hitting the ground will penetrate to some degree as well as being scattered. Gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic rays, or high frequency photons. They will be scattered and absorbed by the ground, but some will penetrate to a given extent. Gamma rays come in different energies (different frequencies or wavelengths), and the higher energy ones (higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths) will penetrate more. Additionally, the components in soil will help determine how much absorption will be taking place per unit of distance through which penetration occurs. Scattering will occur throughout the soil being irradiated. Scattering is the "de-energizing" of the photons as they interact with the material they move through. Note that a gamma ray can scatter and lose some energy and move onward at lower energy. The scattering and absorption will occur when gamma rays penetrate dirt.


What does scattering do to solar rays that are traveling to earth?

Scattering causes solar rays to deviate from their original path as they interact with particles or molecules in the atmosphere, leading to a diffuse distribution of sunlight. This can result in a decrease in the intensity of light reaching the Earth's surface in some cases.


Is there the same amount of UV rays in the shade?

While shade can reduce the amount of UV rays reaching your skin, it doesn't completely block them. UV rays can still reflect off surfaces and penetrate through some types of fabric, so it's important to wear sunscreen even when in the shade to protect your skin.


When it is cloudy many of the Suns rays never read the earth what does this do to the temperature?

When it is cloudy, the clouds act as a barrier that reflects and absorbs some of the Sun's rays, preventing them from reaching the Earth's surface. This can lead to cooler temperatures during the day, as less solar radiation warms the ground. However, at night, clouds can trap heat, making nighttime temperatures warmer compared to clear nights. Overall, cloudy conditions generally result in a moderation of temperature fluctuations.


Are the rays from the Sun harmful?

Some rays are: UV rays. Other have vitamins.


What are two things that stop solar energy from reaching the ground?

Clouds and small particles of pollution, including volcanic emissions reflect some solar energy and prevent it reaching the ground.Ice and snow reflect the sun's energy too.The ozone layer also reflects some ultra-violet radiation.


What are some kinds of rays you have heard of?

Some types of rays include manta rays, stingrays, and electric rays. Manta rays are large, graceful creatures found in the ocean, while stingrays are known for their venomous barbs. Electric rays can produce electric shocks to defend themselves or hunt for prey.
