What is produced in the upper atmosphere when sunlight strikes oxygen atoms and causes them to temporarily combine?
Ozone
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.
Electrons within certain chlorophyll molecules are elevated to a higher energy level when sunlight strikes a?
strikes the photosystems that consist of many secondary chlorophyll and b karotenes which pass the energy to the reaction centre which is a primary chlorophyll.
Is a planet with an albedo of 10 percent absorbs 10 percent of the sunlight that strikes it and reflects the other 90 percent True or False?
false!
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).
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
What layer does sunlight strikes first?
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.
What strikes the equator more directly?
sunlight
When sunlight strikes chlorophyll the cell can make food for the?
plant
Describe what happens when sunlight strikes chlorophyll?
esta con noche
How does polar ice that sunlight strikes help reduce global warming?
When sunlight strikes polar ice much of it is reflected back into space. This, called the albedo effect, slows global warming. When the ice melts the sun strikes the dark water, which absorbs heat much better
What does the ozone become when sunlight strikes hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides?
Photochemical Smog.
What is a column of hot air?
When sunlight strikes the earth, the ground is heated, warming the air above it, this air expands, reducing its density and it is forced upward by the denser surrounding (colder) air. While the ground continues to be heated a continous column of heated, rising air is produced.
What Vitamins come from sunlight?
Vitamin D. The body produces vitamin D when sunlight (ultraviolet light) strikes the skin.
What is mainly responsible for the unequal heating of earth's surface?
The angle at which the sunlight strikes the Earth
When sunlight strikes an object and the light is sent in all directions the light is said to be?
Refracted
Does black absorb or reflect sun?
Black objects absorb sunlight rather than reflecting it. When sunlight strikes an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.
