Basically, one of three things:
- reflection back into space
- Heating of the ground, water and atmosphere
- Absorption by plants to drive photosynthesis
What else can I help you with?
What is the intensity of insolation?
clouds, angle of instance, materials that absorb the suns energy, pollution, and objects
What is the history of using the suns energy?
for history please visit http://www.dbksolar.com/ It gives the history, i found it interesting myself.
Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?
The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.
What factors determine how much of the sun's energy we receive in a given area?
the distance away from the equator (further away = less of the suns energy), and also the amount of cloud and type of cloud in that location (more cloud reflects more of the suns energy away from that location).
What is the suns energy absorbed by?
Mostly anything. Plants, humans, and animals are just a few of the examples.
What happens to the energy from the suns rise that reach earth?
it goes into the inner core.
What absorbs suns energy?
All living things.
What happens to temperature of the house as the suns radiant energy touches it?
The temperature of the house increases as the sun's radiant energy touches it. This is because the house absorbs the energy from the sun, converting it into heat.
Is a device that absorbs the Suns radiant energy?
A solar collector, solar panel
What happens to the suns energy that does reach earth?
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?
it does reach the earth in light energy.
What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
What is a device that absorbs the Suns radiant energy?
A solar panel is a device that absorbs the Sun's radiant energy and converts it into electricity through a photoelectric effect.
Does Neptune get sun?
yes because study says that neptune realeses 2.7 of the suns energy it absorbs
Where is the suns energy less entense on earth?
At the poles.
On which part of the earth is the suns energy the strongest?
The tropics
What happens to the Suns when energy reaches Earth?
It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!
