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
Can visible light go through the Earth Atmosphere?
The atmoshere can stop the gamma ray but the half of the atmosphere that gets hit by the gamma ray will be destroyed. Chemicals in the gamma ray will eat the ozone and destroy the atmosphere leaving the earth unprotected against the suns U-V rays.
If earth had no atmosphere would comets still be visible from its surface?
Yes. Comets do not enter the atmosphere of the earth (we hope!). What you see is gasses that are released from the comet, illuminated by the sun. However, a meteor (shooting star) is visible only due to the atmosphere heating the meteor.
Why are sunsets red after a volcanic eruption?
When light from the sun passes through a greater thickness of the atmosphere more light from short wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet) is removed by scattering before it reaches your eyes leaving behind long wavelengths of visible light (red and orange) that also reflect off of clouds making them red too, that's what makes sunsets and sunrises red too because when the sun is setting or rising it's light has to pass through more gases in the atmosphere instead of in the afternoon when its high in the sky (blue sky). When volcanic ash is the air it thickens the atmosphere and can be reflected off of the particles.
Why does a telescope in orbit gives clear pictures?
Because the light it's trying to detect doesn't have to pass through miles of turbulent atmosphere.
Why is the human eye sensitive to the visible light?
That is because the visibile light is what passes easily through our atmosphere. It would not benefit us much if we could see certain other frequencies, that hardly pass through the atmosphere.That is because the visibile light is what passes easily through our atmosphere.

Why are ultrasound waves used for pre-natal scanning rather than visible-light?
Ultrasound will pass through, visible light won't.
Do heat and light from the sun have to pass through the atmosphere to reach earth?
Yes it does
Do microwaves go through the earths atmosphere?
All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel through vacuums. No transmission medium is required. Some forms of EMR -- visible light, for example -- cannot pass through solid objects, however.
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
Where you see a spectrum of colours?
If you pass white light through a prism, it will separate out into the individual colors of the visible spectrum.
Why can radio waves pass through walls but light cannot?
Radio waves are longer on the electromagnetic spectrum and can penetrate objects because they are less dense. Visible light and infrared light are shorter and therefore too dense to pass through objects.
What is a textbook considered to visible light?
A textbook is considered opaque to visible light, meaning that it does not allow light to pass through it easily. The pages of the book absorb or reflect the light that hits them, making the text and images on the pages visible to the reader.
Why is dawn's light orange?
I found out it is Red because It has to do with the amount of dust and water vapor in the atmosphere that the sunlight has to pass through and this light is slowed down to the color red.

How can UV light be transmitted without a fiberoptic cable?
Just like visible light, UV (ultraviolett) light can also pass through empty space, or air.
Can visible light go through the Earth Atmosphere?
The atmoshere can stop the gamma ray but the half of the atmosphere that gets hit by the gamma ray will be destroyed. Chemicals in the gamma ray will eat the ozone and destroy the atmosphere leaving the earth unprotected against the suns U-V rays.
