That phenomenon is called uneven distribution of sunlight, which contributes to the Earth's varying temperatures and climate patterns. This phenomenon is due to the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun.

The moon and planets shine by what sunlight?

The moon shines by reflecting sunlight, just like any other object in the solar system. Planets shine by reflecting sunlight or producing their own light, such as in the case of Venus, which has a thick atmosphere that reflects sunlight.


What resources are on other planets?

There are a very wide range of mineral or chemical resources on other planets. For example, the outer planets and their moons have essentially unlimited supplies of hydrocarbons, which are so highly sought after here on Earth. Nickel and iron are extremely abundant in the asteroid belt (asteroids are technically planetoids, rather than planets). Other planets have lots of solar energy, since the sun shines on them just as it shines on Earth. On Mercury, the sunlight is tremendously more intense than it is on Earth, since Mercury is much closer to the sun. Even on the moon, the sunlight is more intense, since there is no atmosphere, and the sunlight arrives unfiltered. Of course, it is extremely expensive to travel in space, so no matter what kind of resources exist on other planets, it will not necessarily be cost effective to make use of them. That remains to be seen.


The moon shines with its own light?

the moon does not have its own light, it reflects the sun's light when it's daytime on the other side of earth


Why can you see the space station at night?

You can see the space station at night because it reflects sunlight. When the sun shines on the space station, it illuminates its solar panels and other reflective surfaces, making it visible as a bright point moving across the night sky.


Why earth looks blue in colour from space?

The Earth appears blue from space due to the way that sunlight is scattered and absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and surface. The blue color comes from the scattering of sunlight by air molecules, and the reflection of sunlight by the oceans and other bodies of water.

Why do full moons occur?

it is becuase the sun shines on the moon and when we look up we see the full moon because the moon is abouf the earth and the sunlight shines on the earth and the moon and we see it full and the other side is dark the moon revolve around earth so that is why we have diffrent frases


What country on earth gets the sunlight first?

Since the sun only shines on one side of the Earth at a time, one half of the Earth is in darkness and the other half in sunlight. It is only as the sun rotates on it's axis that different areas of the Earth experience night and day. A country never gets sunlight "first", as the night and day around the Earth is constantly changing.


Why does one half of the planet have a season while the other has the opposite?

The sun shines at a different angle on the Earth so each hemisphere gets a different amount of sunlight these are seasons.


How many days of sunlight does Saturn get?

The sun shines on Saturn ... and on all of the other planets too ... everyday.


Why do shadows change in appearance?

Shadows are caused by objects or people or many other things. When the sun shines on the Earth, you see sunlight. When the sun shines on an object, the sunlight cannot pass through the object, so a dark area behind the object, called a shadow, is created. This area appears dark because there is no light shining on it. Depending on how high the sun is in the sky, your shadow could be very long. When the sun is low in the sky, a single beam of light travels almost parallel to the earth, meaning the sun beam travels farther before it hits the earth. This also means that any absences of light are much larger.

Does light come from Sun?

All of the sunlight that shines on the earth, moon, and all of the other planets and moons in the solar system,comes from the sun.The light is only a small part of the energy that the sun produces. There is also microwave, infrared,ultraviolet, and X-ray energy produced in the sun. We're not aware of it in daily life, because we can'tsee it. The only energy we're aware of in addition to the light is the heat energy. That comes fromthe sun too.All of this energy is produced by continuous nuclear fusion inside the sun.The sunlight and other energy that hits the earth is only a tiny part of the energy that the sun produces.The rest shines in directions that miss the earth.

Why is solar and lunar eclipse shadows in the space?

For the same reason that when you walk past a lamp at night, your shadow moves across the wall. The sun shines on one side of the Earth, and out behind the Earth on the other side is a shadow. The sun shines on one side of the moon, and out behind the moon on the other side is a shadow.
