What percent of the sun light that reaches the earth that absorbs by plants?
3%
What takes longer to reach earth light from the sun or light from other stars?
Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth
Why only a small amount of the light energy from the sun that reaches the earth is used during photosynthesis?

What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
Does the Earth produce its own light?
The earth does not produce its own light but it reflects the light rays from the sun that reaches its surface.
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 planet receives the suns radiation sooner than the Earth?
Mercury and Venus have orbits that are closer to the Sun than Earth, so light from the Sun reaches them sooner than it reaches Earth. (The Earth is about 8 light minutes from the Sun, which means sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth after it leaves the Sun.)

What is one energy the reaches earth from the sun?
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
Most of the Sun's ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's surface?
If that will happen life on earth would be wiped out. Most ultraviolet light heading for earth would be blocked by the ozone layer.
How long for burst of light from sun to reach earth?
Once the light reaches the surface of the Sun, it takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth. This can be calculated by dividing the distance to the Sun by the speed of light: 150,000,000 km / (300,000 km/second).
