Light is radiated from the surface of the Sun. The gas and plasma within the Sun are opaque, and no light can escape from the inside.

What part of the moon is always in sunlight?

The part of the moon that is always in sunlight is the "near side" of the moon, which faces Earth and receives light from the sun. This is the side that we see from Earth, as the moon rotates at the same rate that it orbits Earth, keeping the same side facing us.


What are four physical factors that contribute to Earth's seasons?

Tilt of the Earth's axis: The angle at which the Earth's axis is tilted determines the amount of direct sunlight different regions receive, leading to seasonal variations. Revolution around the sun: The Earth's orbit around the sun causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight depending on the time of year. axial parallelism: The axis of the Earth remains pointed in the same direction throughout its orbit, which affects the distribution of sunlight on different parts of the Earth. Eccentricity of Earth's orbit: The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, but slightly elliptical, which influences the intensity of sunlight received by the planet at different times of the year.


What is it called when more sunlight shines on one part of the earth than the other?

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.


Part of earth faces the sun That part of earth has?

your question doesnt make sense-that part of the earth has-what does that mean? and the earth rotates, that's what makes night and day, so every part of the earth faces the sun for half of the 24 hours in a day(with the exeption of the north and south poles which are always dark and always light at parts of the year)


What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?

Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.

What part of the earth is the warmest and why?

The warmest part of the Earth is typically the equator. This is because the equator receives direct sunlight year-round, resulting in higher temperatures. Additionally, the equatorial region has a more consistent amount of solar energy received compared to areas further from the equator.


Does sunlight follow earth's axis?

Sunlight does not follow the Earth's axis. The Earth's seasons are determined, in part, by the Sun's position to the Earth's axis.


What touches every part of the earth?

Sunlight touches every part of the earth as the sun's rays reach all corners of the globe.


Which part of the earth less heat why?

The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.


Where is northern and southern part of the earth get the least direct sunlight?

Why would there be no seasons if the earth wasnt tilted on its axis?

A season is the result of how direct sunlight is received over a part of the earth. Because of the earth's axial tilt (it does not spin perpendicularly to its orbit around the sun), the hemisphere receiving the most direct sunlight alternates between the northern and southern hemispheres. If the earth had zero axial tilt, the directness of sunlight would not vary throughout the year aside from orbital perihelion/aphelion (which has a much smaller effect than the axial tilt).


The most sunlight reaches the surface of the earth in which geographic region?

The part of Earth that is consistently closest to the Sun is alongside the Equator of the earth. This is the widest part of the Earth's circumference between the North and South Poles.


Which part of the earth receive less heat why?

The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.


Why do earth have season?

That's because Earth's axis is tilted (as compared to a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation). As a result, during part of the year, the northern hemisphere receives more sunlight; during another part of the year, the southern hemisphere receives more sunlight.


Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?

Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]


How does the sun heat parts of the earth that do not receive much direct sunlight?

Because the rays of the sun is so hot it will heat any part of the earth witout being hit my direct sunlight
