The sun's energy reaches a cat that eats a bird through the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy, which is stored in their tissues. When a bird eats these plants, it consumes the stored energy, and when the cat eats the bird, it obtains that energy. Thus, the cat ultimately receives energy from the sun through the food chain.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
by solar energy
the sun's energy goes into the grass and then the grazing animal eats the grass!
it goes into the inner core.
well plankton eats the energy from the sun and that helps it provide oxygen and this is the process of photosynthesis. so really plankton only eats the suns heat and energy.
About 8-1/3 minutes.
8 minutes.
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
it doesn't get energy directly from the sun it gets the suns energy from whatever producers it eats and if its a carnivore than it eats herbivores and herbivores eat producers so the rat gets energy from the herbivore which gets energy from the sun.
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.
If a suns ray hits an apple what energy would that be
