Radiant energy will either be reflected or absorbed by a surface. The usual rule regarding this reflection depends on the color of the object and the color of the light. For example, a red object only reflects red light, and absorbs the rest. A blue object only reflects blue light, and absorbs the rest. This goes for all of the colors. When radiant energy is absorbed, the object will heat up. Hope this helps!

Where do the Suns rays hit Earths surface nearly at right angles?
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?
yes they are
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
Why does a waxing gibbous happen?
A waxing gibbous occurs in the lunar cycle when the moon is moving towards a full moon from a first quarter moon. This phase happens as the sun illuminates more of the moon's surface each night, leading to an increasing illuminated portion visible from Earth.
How many suns fit between the earth and the sun?
The Earths orbital distance from the sun is 149,597,890km (92,955,820 miles) on average, enough to fit 107 more suns between the suns surface and Earth.
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
Where are blue skies?
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
When the suns rays strike earths surface what does energy do?
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface, the energy is either absorbed, reflected, or scattered. This energy is essential for driving various processes on Earth, such as warming the surface, powering the water cycle, and enabling photosynthesis in plants.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the suns rays strike the earths surface decreases?
it decreases... that's why the two poles are the coldest places on earth... however, considering the earth is a sphere the angle you are talking about is relative to the point on earth which you are referring to... therefore, there will always be a point on the earth's surface where the suns rays are hitting at exactly 90 degrees...
When the suns rays strike earth's surface energy is?
Absorbed
Where do the Suns rays hit Earths surface nearly at right angles?
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
What planets suns rays are seven times stronger than earths?
The one closer to the sun.
Are the suns rays concentrated over a smaller surface in winter?
yes they are
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
What happens to the energy from the suns rays?
The energy from the sun's rays is absorbed by the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then converted into heat, which drives weather patterns, ocean currents, and the growth of plants through photosynthesis.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
What shoots from the Suns surface releasing tremendous amounts of energy into space?
Heat rays
