List down what life on earth would be like without the light and heat energy from the sun?
Actually light and heat is one of the most important things we get from the sun which fosters life on earth. Without light plants will not carry out photosynthesis and ultimately they will die. Heat keeps our earths temperature warm otherwise the earth will freeze.
The two most important processes by which energy is transported from the core of the Sun to the photosphere are?
Solar energy is practically light. Light travels through waves. But yes, solar energy is light. It brings heat to the earth, which is solar energy.
What do planets do with the light from the sun?
The planets reflect some sunlight and absorb some. The absorbed light is turned into heat. Earth is unique in that a portion of the sunlight absorbed is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which provides the energy for most of Earth's life.
Most of the earth's heat is stored in earth's mantle true or false?
False
What are 2 major forms of energy released from stars?
The two most obvious are light and heat.electromagnetic (light, including the visible spectrum, infa-red and ultra-violet)thermal (heat)
What does the earth get most of its heat and light from?
the Sun
What is the sun most responsible in producing?
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
What happens to most of the energy when earth surface absorbs light?
Most of the light's energy gets converted into heat.

How is heat transferred from the sun to earth how?
The way heat is transferred from the sun to Earth is because heat from the Sun is transferred to the Earth by a process known as Radiation. Most objects in the universe continuously radiate light off of their exposed surfaces due to their temperature. The hotter an object is, the more energy this discharge light will contain.

Which of these is most likely to be dictionary definition of sun?
"The star around which the Earth orbits, which provides light and heat to the planet."
Does ultraviolet light heat Earth's atmosphere the most or is it blue light?
It can cause sunburn, so it is yes for both answers. Light at the end of the spectrum,blue but invisible
Why is the light of moon not as hot as the sun light?
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.

Why the frequency remains constant during reflection or refraction?
tah sun is our most important source of heat and light,without it living things cannoy survive on earth. we get light and heat from other things ,too. the stars also give us heat and light. can you name other sources of heat and light aside from the sun
