The Sun's interior is composed of the core, radiative zone, and convective zone. The core is where nuclear fusion occurs, generating the Sun's energy. The surface of the Sun is known as the photosphere, which emits light and heat into space.

How much of our Suns energy make it all the way through the atmosphere to the surface of the earth?

About 50% of the Sun's energy that reaches Earth makes it through the atmosphere to the surface. The atmosphere absorbs and scatters some of this energy, with factors like clouds, aerosols, and gases influencing how much sunlight reaches the ground. The portion that does reach the surface is crucial for supporting life, driving weather patterns, and generating renewable energy.


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 does your location on Earth make a difference in how much heat you get from the sun?

Because if you are on the equator the heat you are getting from the sun is concentrated, whereas if you are further away from the equator the suns rays have to cover more area therefor there is in a way, less for you. E.g Kenya is on the equator so it is warmer than lets say Greenland, which is far away.


What are the dark colored regions of the moon?

The dark colored areas of the moon's surface are referred to as "maria", the Italian and Latin word for "seas". Long before the arid nature of the moon's surface was known, the early observers of the moon interpreted these areas as oceans on the moon, and referred to them accordingly.And as for the light areas, they have always been (correctly) interpreted as mountain ranges, and named accordingly.


Describe what maria on the surface of the moon look like and how they came to be known as maria?

Maria on the surface of the moon are large, dark, flat areas that were formed by ancient volcanic activity. They are known as maria, which is the Latin word for "seas," because early astronomers mistakenly thought these regions were filled with water. Maria are actually composed of solidified lava flows and they make up a significant portion of the moon's surface.
