Yes. Light is measured in photons and it is quite evident that the atmosphere is transparent to light.

Can radar pass through the earth's atmosphere?
yes
What happens when photons collide?
when two photons collide:- 1.a new photon gets formed 2.its direction will be different from that of the two photons. 3.the energy of the photon will remain the same
Why can a propeller plane not fly outside the atmosphere?
Because to escape the atmosphere you have to go like 22,000 miles per hour and a propeller plane can't go that fast.
What type of cycling involves movement of chemical elements through through the earth living things and the atmosphere?
biogeochemical
What two factors determine the amount of solar energy that an area receives?
Two factors that determine the amount of solar energy an area receives are the amount of atmosphere it has to travel through and the tilt of the Earth. The more atmosphere the solar energy goes through the less energy there will be when it hits the surface. Also, the tilt of the Earth determines the amount of solar energy because if you are tilted towards the sun you are a little bit closer, so the energy doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere as the side of the Earth tilted away from the sun. Hope this helps!
Why U.V. rays does not go through metals?
The short answer is that the photons are not energetic enough. Photons of x-rays and gamma rays are energetic enough to pass through metal.
How does the sun affect earths atmosphere?
The Sun sends photons of light particles and they get deflected by Earth's atmosphere
How many times can photons warm the earth with carbon dioxide present?
A single photon can only transfer its energy once. Carbon dioxide prevents heat photons leaving the atmosphere therefore the atmosphere warms.
Will shadow of photons exist?
No. Photons can not cast a shadow light passes happily through itself.
Why do the photons pass through the material?
Transparency means that the photons are not affected (except for speed) by that material.
What waves go through the earth's atmosphere?
Sound waves and electrmagnetic waves go through the atmosphere, to name two.
If you just click a flashlight on and off once do photons decay or travel indefinitly?
The light leaving a flashlight when it is turned on and then off will tend to move in a straight line. The problem is that there is air that the light will have to move through. The air will scatter or even absorb the photons. Eventually all the photons will be scattered and absorbed. If the experiment was conducted in outer space, the photons would travel a great distance as there is little in the way of particles to scatter the photons. Here on earth, the atmosphere would absorb the energy as there is relatively little of it released from the flashlight.
What happens in the trmperature in the atmosphere as you go up through the troposphere?
Dcreases
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
Are electrons moving through space light?
No; light is photons.
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
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.
