The Sun's light (all forms of radiation from radio to heat to light to xrays are electromagnetic radiation) is radiated outward in pretty-much equal measure in all directions. Some tiny part of the Sun's radiation impacts the Earth, warming the planet, causing weather, plant growth and sunburns. Other portions of the Sun's radiation hits each of the other bodies in the solar system; Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, all the asteroids, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and its moons, Uranus et al, and Neputune and... as well as all the comets, minor planets, dwarf planets, space rocks and everything else.
We use solar energy to a limited extent here on Earth. Astronomer, physicist and all-around genius Freeman Dyson proposed that REALLY advanced civilizations might build a spherical shell all around the Sun to capture ALL of the solar energy, so that none would leak out. This "Dyson Sphere" would appear to be a very large, fairly cool "black giant" star that might not be visible at all.
What else can I help you with?
What three things can happen to the radiation that earths receives from the sun?
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
Earthquakes happen when these sections of Earth's crust move?
Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates along fault lines shift and release built-up pressure, causing the ground to shake. The sudden release of energy creates seismic waves that result in vibrations felt on the Earth's surface.
What will be happen after magma form?
After magma forms, it will typically rise towards the Earth's surface due to its lower density compared to surrounding rock. As it reaches the surface, it may erupt as lava through a volcano or form intrusive igneous rock formations beneath the surface.
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
When waves energy is lost to a surface making waves weaker what is it called?
The loss of wave energy when it encounters a surface and causes the waves to become weaker is known as wave reflection. This can happen when waves bounce off a barrier or shoreline, leading to reduced energy and amplitude in the reflected waves.
On what part of the earths surface does weathering happen at a faster rate?
yes
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
What would happen if earths supply of energy stopped?
If the earth's supply of energy stopped, Caveman time!
What happen when a gas reaches its lowest possible temperature?
It has no more kinetic energy
What three things can happen to the radiation that earths receives from the sun?
The radiation that Earth receives from the sun can be absorbed by the atmosphere, reflected back into space, or absorbed by the Earth's surface and converted into heat energy.
What happen when the energy provided by the sun as it passes the atmosphere in form of radiation?
When the sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere in the form of radiation, some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere, some is scattered back into space, and the rest reaches the Earth's surface. This energy warms the Earth and plays a crucial role in supporting life through processes like photosynthesis and climate regulation.
What happen to rainwater when it reaches the earth surface?
it soaks into the soil or goes evaporates and repeats the water cycle.
Why do most events on earth happen because of the sun?
This is because the sun is earths basic source of energy.
What can happen to energy as it hits Earth's surface?
It can be either absorbed or reflected.
What would happen if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor were not in the atmosphere?
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
What 3 things can happen to radiated heat when it reaches an object?
When radiated heat reaches an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the object. Absorption occurs when the object takes in the heat energy, reflection happens when the heat is bounced off the object's surface, and transmission occurs when the heat passes through the object.
What are the three things that happens to the radiation the Earth receives from the sun?
It is reflected back out into space (e.g off clouds)It is captured by plants in photosynthesisIt warms the air and makes the weather systems on Earth and the ocean circulationsIt becomes trapped (over time) as fossil fuels.
