Is a flashlight good model for suns light energy hit earth?

Flashlight is not good model to test sun light hit earth. The light of flashlight is too small energy to compare sun light.


What is the belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth?

The belt of maximum solar energy input to Earth is the Equator. This is because the Sun's rays hit the Earth more directly at the Equator, resulting in more intense solar radiation compared to other latitudes.


Did a meteor hit Canada?

Yes, every day. Most of them are pretty small; the average meteor that you see in the sky is the size of a grain of rice or smaller. Bigger one do land occasionally. But about 15000 years ago, there's evidence that a fairly large meteor, or comet, or asteroid, DID hit northern Canada, which may have caused the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age. The extinction of the woolly mammoth appears to have happened at about the same time, and also the disappearance of the pre-Indian "Clovis people" who seem to have been the only humans on the North American continent at the time.


What would happen if an atomic bomb hit the earth's core?

If an atomic bomb were to hit the Earth's core, it would likely not cause a catastrophic chain reaction or destroy the core itself. The core is composed of molten iron and nickel, which are extremely dense and would absorb much of the energy from the explosion without significantly affecting the Earth's overall structure.


What damage would a baseball size meteor cause to earth?

If a baseball size meteor entered our atmosphere, it would get burned up and not hit the ground. Most meteors that strike the Earth hit at around 20 km/s, therefore if a baseball sized meteor actually hit the ground, it would release roughly 10^9 joules of energy. That's roughly equal to the energy released by the explosion of 1000 kg of TNT.

What continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it?

The Earth's surface continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it. This process is known as solar radiation. The absorbed solar energy is then re-radiated as heat back into the atmosphere.


How many seasons were they before the earth got hit by a metorite?

There were no seasons, because no part of the earth was tilted away from it or tilted tword it.


Why doesnt all of the suns energy make it to the earth?

-- Almost all of it misses the Earth, because the Earth is such a small target. -- A substantial amount of the tiny fraction that does score a direct hit on the Earth is absorbed by the atmosphere.
