Many elements only form through high temperatures and pressures... both of which are present int the Sun - but not in the Earth's atmosphere.

Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in earths atmosphere?

Elements can be produced in the sun through nuclear fusion reactions that occur due to the intense heat and pressure. These conditions are not present in Earth's atmosphere, which is why elements are not produced there. Earth's atmosphere primarily consists of gases and does not contain the necessary conditions for nuclear fusion to occur.


What is the name of the layer of the earths atmosphere that absorbs the majority of the potentially damaging ultraviolet from the sun?

Ozone


Where do the elements in the sun's atmosphere come from?

Any elements in the sun's atmosphere other than hydrogen or helium were provided by earlier supernovas that exploded before the sun formed.The hydrogen and much of the helium in the sun's atmosphere originated directly in the big bang and have not changed since then.Some of the helium in the sun's atmosphere passed up in convection currents from the sun's core where it is fusing hydrogen to helium.


How does the sun affect earths atmosphere?

The sun provides energy that drives weather patterns in Earth's atmosphere. Solar radiation heats the atmosphere, causing air currents and circulation. Furthermore, the sun's ultraviolet radiation interacts with gases in the atmosphere to create the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful UV rays.


How did the Apollo mission 1 get its name?

Apollo is the greek god of the sun. He drove a sun chariot above the earths atmosphere that the greeks associate with the sun, so it would be appropiate to name it Apollo as the spaceship went outside the atmosphere to the moon, as the greeks believed apollo did with the sun

What three things occur when the sun's energy hits the earths surface?

The sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. Some of the energy is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by the atmosphere. Plants and other organisms use the sun's energy through photosynthesis to produce their own food.

What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?

About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
