What else can I help you with?
What is a result in changes in solar energy that create day and night?
Earths tilt
What do you call organisms that get it energy straight from the sun?
producers
Which latitude receives the least amount of solar energy?
The poles, which are located at approximately 90 degrees latitude, receive the least amount of solar energy due to their extreme tilt away from the sun during certain times of the year. This results in prolonged periods of darkness and very low sun angles, leading to reduced solar energy reaching these regions.
What percentage of the solar energy the reaches the outer atmosphere is absorbed at the earths surface?
50%
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
What is a light that forms ------- that earths receive from the sun?
Energy
What is the amount of heat energy in the earths atmosphere referred to as?
the altitude
What is the earths one energy source?
The SunThe radiation we receive from the Sun. Most of the energy we use comes from there.
When the amount of energy receive from the sun and the amount of energy return to space are about equal it is called what?
radiation balance
What layer of the earths structure produces the greatest amount of thermal energy?
the mantle
Does all parts of the earth receive equal amount of energy?
no
Which organism in the food web receives the least amount of energy from the produces?
Tertiary consumers receive the least amount of energy from producers.
What is the year that earths hemispheres receive the same amount of energy from the sun?
Earth's hemispheres receive approximately the same amount of energy from the sun during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. At these times, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun's rays to strike the Earth more directly at the equator, resulting in equal daylight and darkness across the globe.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
What are 3 factors that cause the amount of solar energy to vary over earths surface?
Three factors that cause the amount of solar energy to vary over Earth's surface are the angle of sunlight, atmospheric conditions such as clouds and air pollution, and the duration of daylight hours.
Which organism would receive the least amount of transferred solar energy?
owls
