No. The mass is constant. Until it hits.

What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?

What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.


Why does the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earths surface toward space?

The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.


What affects was the size of a shadow?

The size of a shadow depends on, the angle that the light source is hitting the object and the size of the object. In some cases, the amount of light can also affect the size of a shadow.


When an objects mass increases its gravitational pull?

Well mass is the size of an object and if you have a large mass then you are heavy and if you have a smaller mass then yu are light. Mass affects the objects gravitational pull because if you have lrg mass then you weigh more cus of your size. and if you are small you can slip through air faster and if your mass is lrgr then you can sometimes be slower then the smaller mass. Ex. mice are fast and glide across the floor while elephants are large and dont get to places very fast bcus of there weit.


Which planet is most like earth in size and mass?

Venus is closest to the Earths size and mass - often referred to as Earths sister or twin planet. Venus' Mass is around 82% of Earths, while its diameter is a little smaller than Earths at around 95% of Earths diameter.

How mass affect surface area?

Mass does not directly affect surface area. Surface area is a measure of the total area of an object's external surfaces, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, as the mass of an object increases, its volume typically increases as well, which can indirectly affect its surface area if the shape remains constant. Objects with larger masses may have larger surface areas if their volume increases proportionally.


When volume increases in an object faster than its surface area increases it's the ''rule or law called what?

When the volume of an object increases faster than its surface area, it is often described by the "Square-Cube Law." This principle states that as a shape grows in size, its volume increases with the cube of the scale factor, while its surface area increases with the square. Consequently, larger objects face challenges related to heat dissipation, structural integrity, and resource distribution due to the disparity in growth rates between volume and surface area.


Does volume increases faster than surface area?

Yes, volume increases faster than surface area as the size of an object increases. For geometric shapes, while surface area grows with the square of the dimensions (length, width, height), volume grows with the cube of those dimensions. This means that as an object becomes larger, its volume expands at a higher rate compared to its surface area, leading to a relatively smaller surface area-to-volume ratio.


The volume increases much more rapidly than the surface?

This is because volume is cubic, while surface area is squared. As a result, when an object increases in size, its volume increases at a faster rate than its surface area. This phenomenon is why small organisms, with a large surface area relative to their volume, can exchange gases and nutrients more efficiently than larger organisms.


What happens to friction if the weight of an object is increased?

If the weight of an object is increased, the friction between the object and the surface it's resting on also increases. This is because the force pressing the object against the surface is greater, resulting in more resistance to motion.


Compare the changes in the weight of a ball with the changes in the balls mass as the height of the ball above earths surface increases?

Mass and Weight The gravitational force Earth exerts on an object is the weight of the object. Because weight is a force, it is measured in newtons. Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and is measured in kilograms. Even if the mass of an object doesn't change, its weight will change if its distance from Earth changes


Why are some currents cold and some warm?

there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface


What happens to the volume of an object as its surface area increases?

In general, the volume will also increase. If the shape remains the same, the volume will increase faster than the surface area. Specifically, the surface area is proportional to the square of an object's diameter (or any other linear measurement), while the volume is proportional to the cube of any linear measurement.


As the length of a cell increases its volume increases faster than its?

surface area. This is due to the volume increasing cubically as the length increases, while the surface area only increases squared. This can lead to issues with nutrient and waste exchange in larger cells.


What changes when the mass of an object increases while the volume stays the same?

If the mass of an object increases while the volume stays the same, the object becomes denser. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so as mass increases without a change in volume, density increases accordingly.
