What else can I help you with?
Does the Moon need the Sun for its brightness?
Yes it does. It couldn't shine without the sun reflecting off of it.
How is the sun affected by nuclear powers from earth?
The sun is not affected by the nuclear power generated on Earth. The nuclear reactions that power the sun are happening in its core, while nuclear power plants on Earth use fission reactions that do not have the ability to impact the sun's nuclear fusion process.
What is the approximate of the sun?
The sun has many measurable features, which include distance from the Earth, diameter, weight, brightness, temperature. You need to say what you are asking about.
How bright would the sun appear to be to an observer on Earth if the Sun were four times farther from the Earth than it actually is?
The sun would be 4 times less bright than it is now. The brightness of the sun follows an inverse square law
Why does the sun not twinkle like other stars?
The sun does not twinkle like other stars because it is much closer to Earth and much larger in size. The twinkling of stars is caused by the Earth's atmosphere distorting the light as it passes through, but the sun's proximity and size minimize this effect, resulting in a stable and constant brightness.
The earth is moved from 1 au from the sun to 2 au from the sun how is the apparent brightness of the sun as seen from earth affected?
The apparent brightness of the sun would decrease because the intensity of sunlight weakens with distance. By moving the Earth from 1 AU to 2 AU, the distance between the Earth and the Sun doubles, resulting in a decrease in the amount of sunlight reaching Earth and causing a decrease in apparent brightness.
How is earth affected by the sun?
The sun warms the earth.
How many lux is the sun when measured from Earth?
The sun's brightness when measured from Earth is approximately 100,000 lux on a clear day.
Is the brightness of the moon caused by the speed of it travelling around the earth?
No. The brightness of the moon is caused by the sun shining on it, just like the brightness of a beach, a snowdrift, a mountainside, or a lake, none of which travels around the earth.
Does the Moon need the Sun for its brightness?
Yes it does. It couldn't shine without the sun reflecting off of it.
Which of the earth layer is most affected by the suns rays?
The layer most affected by sun is ozone. It is affected the the UV of sun.
If the distances between the sun and earth changed what would be affected?
The closer we are to the Sun, the more light would hit the Earth. It would heat up the Earth a little. The time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is proportional to the radius of the orbit, so if we were closer to the Sun, the year would be shorter.
How can the sun have both a brightness of -26.73 and 4.83 Explain what these numbers mean.?
The sun's brightness of -26.73 refers to its apparent magnitude, which measures how bright an object appears from Earth, with lower numbers indicating brighter objects. In contrast, a magnitude of 4.83 is associated with the sun's absolute magnitude, which represents its intrinsic brightness at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (about 32.6 light-years). The significant difference between these two values highlights the sun's immense brightness as viewed from Earth compared to its brightness at a greater distance.
Is earth the only planet affected by the sun?
No. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are affected by the sun. Venus has the most heat though.
How is the solar energy transferred to earth affected by different materials on earth?
By the sun
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
What is most affected by the sun's ultra violet rays?
Plants on earth are affected by UV rays. They are fatal rays of the sun.
