What else can I help you with?
Why is much of the sun's radiation reflected back in to space by earth?
Such reflection is called the albedo. For the earth it is 30 - 35%
What do differences in the moons and suns pull on different sides of earth cause?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
How does the tilt of earths axis effect how the suns rays strike earth?
I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
How many times greater is the suns diameter than the diameter of earth?
The sun's diameter is about 1.4 million kilometers, which is more than 100 times earth's diameter.
How does atmosphere support life on Earth?
the atmosphere forms a protective boundary between earth and space and provides conditions that are suitable for life
How do the suns heat get to the earth?
Radiation
Which planet has an atmosphere that protects life from the suns radiation?
The EARTH!!!!
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Does ultraviolet radiation come to the earth?
Yes, It comes from the suns rays to the earth
What causes auroras on Earth?
The suns radiation hitting our atmosphere
What cause Earth's auroras?
The suns radiation hitting our atmosphere
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 the radiation called when the suns energy bounces back from the earth?
The radiation that bounces back from the Earth's surface is called infrared radiation. This type of radiation is emitted by the Earth's surface in the form of heat and is partially absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's energy balance.
What is present around the earth?
O-Zone Layer to Protect from the suns rays
What gas acts as a shield against the suns ultra violet radiation?
Ozone gas in the Earth's stratosphere acts as a shield against the sun's ultraviolet radiation by absorbing and filtering out a significant portion of harmful UV rays before they reach the Earth's surface. This helps protect organisms and ecosystems from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
What planet receives the suns radiation before earth does?
There are two planets which are closer to the sun than the Earth is, which are Mercury and Venus.
Which layer protects the earth from suns radiation?
The ozone layer, found in the stratosphere, helps protect the Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation by absorbing most of it. This absorption prevents the harmful UV rays from reaching the Earth's surface, which can cause skin cancer, eye damage, and other health problems.
