The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.

Does the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere evenly distributed?

No, the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere is not evenly distributed. The temperature increases with height, transitioning from cooler regions like the photosphere to hotter regions like the corona. This temperature variation is due to the way energy is transported and distributed through the layers of the sun.


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

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


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

Ozone


When the air in the atmosphere is unevenly warmed by the sun's wind currents are the result?

When the air in the atmosphere is unevenly warmed by the sun, it creates temperature differences that lead to the formation of wind currents. This causes air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind that can be experienced as gentle breezes or stronger gusts depending on the intensity of the temperature variations.


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 the atmosphere heated?

A small part of the heating of the atmosphere is directly from the sun. A lot of heating near the surface is done through conduction from land or water that has been warmed by the sun.

What heats earths atmosphere?

The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.


Which layer of the earths atmosphere the earth from these dangerous ultraviolet radiations of the sun?

The ozone part of atmosphere. It is the most precious part.
