Do planets reflect light from the moon and the sun?
Yes. All planets reflect some amount of sunlight, b/c that's what a surface will do if it isn't perfectly matte black.
Is the property of color concerned with the amount of light a surface reflects or doesn't reflect How light or dark the surface is?
Neither of those things. Only the color of the light before it even reaches the reflecting surface.
Where does the greatest amount of solar energy reach the surface of the ocean?
The greatest amount of solar energy reaches the surface of the ocean near the equator. This is because the sun's rays are more direct at the equator, resulting in higher solar intensity. Additionally, the equatorial regions generally experience less cloud cover, allowing more sunlight to reach the surface of the ocean.
What occupies the greatest amount of space which state of matter?
the gases, due to their low density in comparison to solids or fluids occupy the greatest amount of space
What factors contribute to the uneven heating of the earth by the sun?
Earth has a tilted axis. As the Earth revolves around the sun, either the Northern or Southern hemisphere is aimed more directly at the sun. This means a higher consentration and thus, insolation (see insolation).
Which letter represents the surface that most likely absorbs the greatest amount of insolation?
C
Which paint should be used on the absorber plate if it is designed to absorb the greatest possible amount of insolation?
black paint
How do aerosol particles affect insolation?
They scatter sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface as direct radiation (increasing the amount that reaches as diffuse).
Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?
hmm. maybe you should pay attentin in school(:
The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?
Insolation
What is insolators?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. It is an abbreviation for "incoming solar radiation."the amount of sunlight that reaches a planet.
What is the property of color concerned with the amount of light a surface reflects or doesn't reflect?
value
What is the technical term for the amount of warmth and light from the sun?
Insolation
Which atmospheric condition will cause the greatest amount of evaporation from the surface of a lake?
Dry, Hot, Windy weather will cause the greatest amount. hope this helped :)
What greatest factors in the atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation received from the sun?
The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun
Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming radiation?
Rough,light colored surface
Which of the following processes involves the greatest amount of water loss from the earth's surface?
evapotranspiration
