Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Is there vacuum in between earth and sun?
No, there is no vacuum between Earth and the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is filled with the solar wind, which consists of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. This forms the interplanetary medium, which is not a complete vacuum but very low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.
Does the moon have layers?
It has 6 layers which are, from inside towards the surface:-CoreRadiative zoneConvective zonePhotosphereChromosphereCoronaIt also has features which appear in its outer layers:SunspotGranulesProminences
Why is earths atmosphere warmed un evenly by the sun?
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
What colors are the sun?
The Sun is white hot - the red, yellow, and orange colors come from dust and smog in the air. Compared to other stars, the Sun is slightly in the yellow part of the spectrum, but to us it is white.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere the earth from these dangerous ultraviolet radiations of the sun?
The ozone part of atmosphere. It is the most precious part.
Are the solar winds a part of the suns atmosphere?
Well... sort of. It's hard to put a definite stopping point on "atmosphere", and the solar winds, though incredibly thin compared to Earth's air pressure at sea level, could be considered part of the Sun's atmosphere. If you use that definition, though, all the planets orbit within the Sun's atmosphere, so it may be at best a little misleading.
Where does the energy in the earth's atmosphere originate?
The energy in the earth's atmosphere primarily originates from the Sun. The Sun heats the earth and the water, heating the atmosphere.
Is there vacuum in between earth and sun?
No, there is no vacuum between Earth and the Sun. The space between Earth and the Sun is filled with the solar wind, which consists of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. This forms the interplanetary medium, which is not a complete vacuum but very low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.
In what atmosphereic layer are the planets?
Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
Why the atmosphere is considered a part of the earth?
The atmosphere is considered part of the Earth because it is a layer of gases that surrounds the planet and interacts with its surface. It plays a critical role in supporting life, regulating temperature, and protecting Earth from harmful radiation from the sun.
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
What does the carbon dioxide in the air do to the sun?
Nothing. Earth's atmosphere does not affect the sun. It does, however, cause Earth's atmosphere to retain more of the heat from the sun.
Does the sun keep the earth warm?
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
What part of the atmosphere is the ozone found in?
It is a part of stratosphere. It protects us from the UV rays of the sun.
