The atmosphere is mostly transparent at the frequencies of visible light; in fact, the fact that our eyes see in that range is probably BECAUSE it is the transparent frequency range.
Light that hits the atmosphere will predominantly penetrate the atmosphere and reach the Earth. Some small percentage of the light will be absorbed or scattered passing through, and a very small percentage will be reflected and bounce back into space.

The lower part of the atmosphere touches the crust?
Yes. The lowest level of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which includes the part that we breathe.
How does refraction of light vary the length of the day?
The sky does not go from total darkness to day light at sunrise nor does in go from dayligh t to total darkness at the instant of sunset. Refraction of sunlight in the atmosphere gives a period of light at dawn and dusk which affects the length of the daylight hours.
Does a meteorite reflect light or emit light?
it normally only reflects light. unless it comes in contact with the atmosphere and starts to burn as a result. in that case it also emits light.
How much of the radiation from visible light waves is absorbed as the radiation passes through the atmosphere?
almost none the vast majority of visible light passes through the atmosphere.
When a DVD is read laser light touches the DVD surface and is measured at location a what allows light to return to location a after striking the DVD surface?
Reflection
Can photons go through the atmosphere?
Yes. Light is measured in photons and it is quite evident that the atmosphere is transparent to light.
What layer of the atmosphere touches the surface of earth?
troposphere
Why is there no light in space?
Its because there is NOTHING between each star, that light can react against, it's something to do with air, or the atmosphere, because there is no light on the moon, (like there is on earth) since it has no atmosphere. or any sort of gas. The atmosphere scatters the light, no atmosphere, no visible light, (like the light on earth).
How is light affected when passing through water?
Light is affected by everything it touches. If it touches a glass of water, it *refracts* (bends).
The lower part of the atmosphere touches the crust?
Yes. The lowest level of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which includes the part that we breathe.
What happens to red light when it travels through earth's atmosphere?
As light moves through the atmosphere, it continues to go straight until it bumps into a bit of dust or gas molecules
Where do the products of the light reaction go?
The products of the light reactions will typically go into the atmosphere around the organism. These products are picked up by animals as well.
Why are Stars are brighter when they are seen from the moon?
No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.
You live where light is but die if it touches meWhat are you?

How evaporation takes place in tea?
light touches it.
How are clouds made up of ice crystals?
The high atmosphere is very cold. so as soon as a gas cloud touches the high atmosphere it turns into a ice crystals.
Why is the sun reddish at sunset?
In this case, the sunlight must go farther through our atmosphere. The atmosphere lets red light through more easily than other colors.
