How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
Why is the sun's intensity different at different area of the earth?
It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense
Why did temperatures on the moon vary so much?
Because there is no atmosphere the greenhouse effect does not take place. All of the suns rays are reaching the moon with full power.
When is the intensity of the suns rays the greatest?
The intensity of the sun's rays is greatest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is because the rays have a shorter distance to travel through the Earth's atmosphere, leading to less scattering and absorption.
What is the name of the sun atmosphere?
the outer layer of the suns atmosphere is the corona
How much of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere?

What prevents most of the suns rays from reaching us?
The Atmosphere
What prevents most of the suns gamma rays from reaching us?
The Atmosphere
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...
What is mostly affected by the suns ultraviolet rays?
The ozone layer is mostly affected the by the suns ultraviolet rays. This layer is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere.
Does the atmosphere protect us from the suns UV rays?
Yes, the atmosphere protects us from the sun's Uv rays. The ozone layer does this job.
Why is the atmosphere considered the protective bubble you live in?
The reason why everyone calls the atmosphere a protective bubble is because the sun emits harmful radiation that could damage or kill us. The ozone is in a layer of the atmosphere and it filters most of the suns rays. Without the ozone we wouldn't be in existence.
Which part of the atmosphere shields humans from the suns harmful rays?
The ozone layer protects it.
What layer of the atmosphere protects humans from the suns rays?
Sun's rays are some useful and some harmful. UV rays are harmful. ozone protects us from it.
Why does the sun look yellow even though its really white?
when the suns rays go through the atmosphere it distorts the colour. In the evening its darker because the suns rays must go through more of the atmosphere. you shouldn't look at the sun anywayzzz :p
How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
