How many Tera-Watts of energy from the sun hit the earth?
About 174 Petawatts of solar energy from the sun hits the Earth in the form of sunlight.
Using the tilt of the earth why is winter cold?
The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.
What happend to the earth after an asteroid hit?
After an asteroid impact, the Earth can experience widespread devastation, including massive fires, tsunamis, and a "nuclear winter" effect from debris blocking sunlight. Depending on the size of the asteroid, the impact could lead to mass extinctions and significant changes to the environment. Recovery and rebuilding could take millions of years.
How long does it take for the Sun to hit the Earth?
The Sun won't hit the Earth, but the Earth may, and that will be when the world comes to an end. However, if you were referring to sunlight, 7 seconds should do it. distance from sun to earth ~ 150, 000, 000 km=1.5*10^8 km light =3*10^8m/s = 3*10^5km/s so 5*10^2 s ~ 8 mins. 7 seconds=2*10^6 km which is less than distance to moon. sorry to pick at units but a minute is verry diffrent to a second in astronomical terms.
Does the light of the sun reach the earth?

The tilt of the earth causes the sun to hit certain areas.
What causes light from the sun to hit different parts of the earth at different angles?
The curvature of the Earth causes sunlight to hit different parts of the Earth at varying angles. This means that sunlight hits the equator more directly than the poles, leading to differences in temperature and climate across the globe.
When does no direct sun light hit earth?
Direct sunlight does not hit all parts of the Earth at the same time. It does not hit areas experiencing nighttime due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Additionally, during sunset and sunrise, sunlight is less direct and more spread out.
