Nope. Light particles (photons)are nowhere near energetic enough to do that. On the other hand, tiny super-high-energy particles called, "Neutrinos" from outside the Earth are right now passing through you, me, and the entire Earth. There are not many materials dense enough to stop Neutrinos!

One difference between reflection and refraction of light waves is that?
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
What happens to visible light when it enters earths atmosphere?
approx 25% is reflected approx 20% is absorbed approx 55% pass through to Earth's surface (it burns) supposedly
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
How ling does it take for light to travel from the sun to the earths surface?
For sunlight to reach the Earth's Surface is about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
Why are there almost no extrusive ultra-basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
Why do you have seasons and what causes them?
The revolvtion is not the only answer also light rays hitting the earths surface
What type of radiation is reflected away from the earths surface?
Long-wave radiation and visible light.
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
How long does it take for light to travel from the sun the Earths surface?
8 minutes or 500 seconds(approx.)
What is the light colored shadow on the earths surface cast by the moon during a solar eclipse?
The umbra ans penumbra
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
What is the flash of light produced when a meteoroid passes through the earths atmosphere?
meteor ^v^
How does the ozone layer reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone is (relatively) opaque to ultraviolet light.
One difference between reflection and refraction of light waves is that?
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
Can light travel if there is no air?
Yes, as light requires no particles to move, although it will spread and continue infinitely until it hits another surface
