AnswerThe light comes to us from the sun, moon and stars.

Without an atmosphere, there would still be light from the sun during daylight hours. The stars are not visible during the daytime because the light from the sun is scattered through the atmosphere and conceals the much fainter light of the stars, so without an atmosphere the stars would be visible both day and night. The moon reflects light to us from the sun, and would continue to do so even without an atmosphere.

What the world would be without light?

Without light the world would be a lifeless rock. if light was to disappear today there would still be sources of energy available that were previously converted by plants from the sun. But from the point of view of life as we know it there would be nothing within a very short time. It would become so cold that the atmosphere would freeze.


Light from the rising and setting sun is bent by the atmosphere The bending is toward the ground If there were no atmosphere would you have more or less daylight hours?

Without atmosphere, the period of daylight would be shorter, for a few reasons.Concerning the refraction of light by the atmosphere as described in the question, it has the effect ofcausing the sun to appear HIGHER than it actually is. The sun becomes visible before it actually rises,and remains visible after it has set. This lengthens the daily period of time during which the sun appearsabove the horizon.

Can you colonise other planet?

Yes but to make the atmosphere suitable for humans to breathe without spacesuits you would have to change the chemical nature of the atmosphere on that planet, which can take a very long time. In the short term, you could build massive buildings and seal them so that you could walk around inside without a spacesuit but you could never go outside without protection until the atmosphere is safe. Some planets don't have much of an atmosphere so you would always have to wear a protective spacesuit because without an atmosphere you would not be protected from the deadly dangerous rays of the sun. Without an atmosphere to protect you, you would get too much radiation and die.


Why wouldent it be possible on earth without the atmosphere?

You need oxygen to breath, rain and water to drink, you need an atmosphere to heat and cool certain parts of the planet. Without an atmosphere meteors would hit the ground and leave big craters, instead of burning up in the atmosphere, most of the time. Look at the Moon. It has no atmosphere. It also has no life.

Why do stars come out?

The Earth's atmosphere contains nitrogen, which glows with blue light when struck by the suns rays. This obscures the stars during the daytime. If there were no nitrogen in the atmosphere, the stars would be visible all the time.

Why life cease to exist without the earth's magnetic field?

The Earth's magnetic field protects the planet from harmful solar radiation and charged particles from the sun, which could otherwise strip away the atmosphere over time. Without this protection, the atmosphere would gradually erode, making the planet uninhabitable for life as we know it.


Why is it important to have light?

because without light we would all be alone and cold and if you have ever seen some of the creatures that have been in the dark for a long time they are hairless and their eyes are all covered over and they look gross. Also without light, there wouldn't be life at all really because plants need light to grow and without plants to eat the CO2 we would suffocate and die.


What would earths atmosphere likely consist mostly of without the presence of life?

If Earth did not have any life, its atmosphere would likely consist mostly of nitrogen, similar to the atmosphere of Mars or Venus. Volcanic activity would have likely contributed to the release of gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. Sunlight and cosmic rays might also have influenced the composition of the atmosphere over time.


I go into a pitch black room with a match There is a candle an oil lamp and a stove. which one do you light first?

it depends on the time of day and time of year. if it's night time you would light the lamp, if you were cold you would light the heater. If you were quick enough you could use the match to light the lamp and the heater at the same time. The answer to this very basic question is this ----- you would first light the match !!!
