The earth travels on an orbit around the sun changing the distance the sun's rays would have to travel. It takes between 490 to 507 seconds for the rays to reach Earth.
Many objects in space are so far away, that by the time their light arrives on Earth, the light rays are effectively parallel.
Because if you are on the equator the heat you are getting from the sun is concentrated, whereas if you are further away from the equator the suns rays have to cover more area therefor there is in a way, less for you. E.g Kenya is on the equator so it is warmer than lets say Greenland, which is far away.
how far away from the earth did yuri gagarin travel?
Apollo 12 traveled to the moon and back to earth.
around the world 26,000 miles
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
as far as i know... the earth doesnt give off rays.
Gamma Rays will travel as long as they have energy
Potentially to the ends of the universe.
About 9.45 trillion kilometers (5.88 trillion miles) per year if you mean how far can light (including the sun's light) travel in a year. 365 days/year * 86,400 seconds/day * 299,792 km/s = 9.45 x 10^12 km/year
Although it is harmful, it's still important. UV rays carries heat from the sun. Although the sun is the closest star from earth, it's still far away and it's almost about 150 million kilometers away from the sun and sunlight itself can't travel that far because the sun's surface is only about several thousand degrees Celsius, that's why they are carried by UV rays, so the earth will have the right temperature for living. If there is no UV rays, Earth will be like Pluto. UV rays can't travel more than a billion kilometers and Pluto is 7.4 billion kilometers away, so UV rays can't reach Pluto.
The top of Everest, K2, Kilimanjaro or any high mountain. This is due to a lack of particulates in the air to filter the rays out and of course because they are closer to the sun. Although the Equatorial region of the Earth may be the hottest, the actual difference in distance between the Equator and Everest is negligible if you consider how far the suns rays have travelled to get to us in the first place.

Gamma rays can travel furthest into a material which is why it is emitted in a nuclear bomb blast. In a supernova gamma rays are burst out in all directions. Gamma rays are so deadly all life on Earth could be annihilated because of a single supernova from as far as 7 light years away!
No. Stars cannot fall to Earth They are far beyond the influence of Earth's gravity and far larger and more massive than Earth. The stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own but unimaginably far away. The remains of dead stars are composed of extremely dense forms of matter not found on Earth. The "falling stars" are not actually stars; they are meteors, small pieces of rock and metal that burn up as they travel through Earth's upper atmosphere at extreme speeds.
