Ummm . . . Sunlight itself produces no heat, but light comes from the Sun along with heat, x-rays, and other high-energy particles.

What planet produces more heat than light from the sun?

Planets typically do not produce more heat than stars. Mercury gets really hot BECAUSE of the sun.


Does direct sunlight produces more than indirect sunlight?

Yes it does. When the sunlight is direct, it specifically hits a location so more solar energy is packed into that area. Therefore, it is warmer in that area. For example, the equator.


What produces more heat than any other sunlight?

The Sun produces more heat than any other source due to its immense nuclear fusion processes occurring in its core. These reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. The Sun’s surface temperature reaches about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the primary source of heat for our solar system. Its energy drives weather patterns and sustains life on Earth.


Why direct sunlight hotter than reflected sunlight?

Direct sunlight is hotter than reflected sunlight because it delivers a concentrated amount of solar energy directly to a surface, resulting in higher temperatures. Reflected sunlight, on the other hand, scatters the energy and typically loses some intensity and heat during the reflection process. This means that surfaces illuminated by direct sunlight absorb more energy and heat up more than those illuminated by reflected sunlight.


Why it is cooler in the white car than a dark car?

White cars reflect more sunlight and heat compared to dark cars, which absorb more heat. This difference in heat absorption leads to the interior of the white car staying cooler than the interior of the dark car.

What kind of sunlight produces more heat than another type of sunlight?

Direct sunlight produces more heat than indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight is more intense and focused, resulting in higher temperatures compared to diffuse or scattered sunlight.


Why does soil absorb more sunlight heat than and water?

it absorbs more heat from sunlight than water because soil is looser which lets more sunlight in


Which will conduct more heat foil in the sunlight or a sidewalk in the sunlight?

A sidewalk will conduct more heat than foil in sunlight because concrete has a higher thermal conductivity than foil. This means that the sidewalk will absorb more heat and conduct it through its material, while foil will reflect a significant portion of the sunlight.


What planet produces more heat than light from the sun?

Does darker color absorb more heat than light color?

Yes, darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors because they absorb a greater range of wavelengths from sunlight, converting more of it into heat energy. Lighter colors reflect more sunlight, reducing heat absorption.


Does sunlight heat water more quickly than the air?

Depends what temperature the air is, but in general, sunlight doesn't produce much heat energy. The heat energy however in the air is great in quantity, so it heats more quickly than the air. :)

What planets sunlight produces more than?

Mercury, Venus, and Pluto receive less sunlight than Earth due to their distance from the Sun or their orbital characteristics. For example, Pluto is much farther from the Sun than Earth, while Venus has a dense atmosphere that traps heat, making it one of the hottest planets in our solar system.


Which produces more heat a gram of candle wax or gram of alcohol?

A gram of candle wax produces more heat when burned compared to a gram of alcohol. Candle wax has a higher energy content per gram than alcohol, which results in more heat being released during combustion.


Why do black clothes make you hotter than white clothes in the sunlight?

Black clothes absorb more sunlight and heat compared to white clothes which reflect sunlight. This absorption of heat by black clothes results in them feeling hotter when exposed to sunlight.
