When sunlight strikes Earth approximately how much ref let back into space?
That varies from almost zero (black surfaces) to all of it (white & shiny surfaces).
What percent of sunlight is reflected off of the earth's surface?
47% heavy.
How long does it takes the sunlight to reach the Earth?
It takes light around 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach the earth from the sun.
How does the sun's energy affect air at the equator and the north pole differently?
Sunlight strikes the equator directly, and over a shorter distance through the earth's atmosphere, so retains more heat. At the poles, the sunlight strikes at an angle, and the light travels further through the atmosphere, so being much cooler.
How old is sunlight when it hits Earth?
it is estimated that it takes approximately 8 mins for light for the sun to reach the earths crust
What layer does sunlight strikes first?
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.
When sunlight strikes Earth approximately how much ref let back into space?
That varies from almost zero (black surfaces) to all of it (white & shiny surfaces).
What is mainly responsible for the unequal heating of earth's surface?
The angle at which the sunlight strikes the Earth
Why we see the different phases of the moon from earth?
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
Where Sunlight reaches earth approximately?
Measure size of large objects such as

What percent of sunlight is reflected off of the earth's surface?
47% heavy.
Approximately what percentage of the Earth's surface is land?
About 29% of the Earth's surface is land, while the remaining 71% is covered by water.
What factor most influences amount of solar energy an area on earth receives?
It is the angle at which sunlight strikes the area.
How does the angle at which sunlight strikes earth surface affect the intensity of the sunlight?
The more acute the angle at which the sunlight strikes, the more atmosphere that sunlight must pass through. Passing through more atmosphere will weaken and dim the light beams. As the angle at which sunlight hits the earth changes, the same amount of sunlight is spread over different areas, so that near the poles each area of surface receives less intense radiation than an equivalent area near the poles.
How long does it takes the sunlight to reach the Earth?
It takes light around 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach the earth from the sun.
