Yes. Light is measured in photons and it is quite evident that the atmosphere is transparent to light.
yes
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
Because to escape the atmosphere you have to go like 22,000 miles per hour and a propeller plane can't go that fast.

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!
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.
Photons released from the Sun travel through space in a straight line until they interact with matter or are absorbed by particles in the atmosphere. This uninterrupted path is what allows sunlight to reach Earth and provide energy for life on our planet.
A carbon atom from Earth's atmosphere can go next into living organisms through photosynthesis, into the ocean through absorption, or into the soil through decomposition.
No. Photons can not cast a shadow light passes happily through itself.
Photons do not have a lifespan, as they are massless particles that do not decay over time. They exist until they are either absorbed by matter, reflected, or pass through space indefinitely.
Photons emitted by the sun warm the Earth continuously. When photons interact with the Earth's surface, the energy is absorbed and re-emitted as infrared radiation. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can trap a portion of this infrared radiation, leading to the greenhouse effect and warming the Earth. This process occurs repeatedly as long as there is carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.
Photons can interact with matter through processes such as absorption, scattering, and emission. Depending on the energy of the photons and the type of matter they encounter, they may be absorbed by the material, scattered in different directions, or cause the emission of new photons through processes like fluorescence or Cherenkov radiation.
Most solar energy that reaches Earth's surface is taken from the sun, where photons of light are emitted through nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core. These photons travel through space until they reach Earth's atmosphere and surface, providing the energy needed for various processes on our planet.
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.
When sunlight photons pass through a glass pane, most of the photons are transmitted through the glass, while some are reflected and scattered. The glass absorbs very little of the sunlight energy, allowing most of it to pass through into the enclosed space.
Yes, photons of light can pass through our bodies. Photons interact with atoms in our body, but most of the time they pass through without being absorbed or scattered, allowing them to travel through us. This is why we can see light and feel warm sunlight on our skin.
The path of photons through the Sun's plasma is called radiative diffusion. Photons travel through the Sun's plasma by bouncing off charged particles in a random walk pattern until they reach the surface and are emitted as sunlight.
