What else can I help you with?
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
Why do few large plants beneath conifers?
two reasons that few large plants grow beneath the tree of a coniferous forest are the ground beneath the trees are covered with a thick layer of needles. Very little sun light reaches the ground.
Why does water on a waterfall turn white?
the bubbles are caused by kinetic energy of the water forcing some of the pure oxygen (o2) mixed in with the water (h2o) being pushed to the surface, because the oxygen is much lighter and much less dense the water
Why do shiny surfaces reflect light better than dull surfaces?
its because the drop of the water is like a concave lens
How could you change the size of your shadow?
You can either move closer to the light source or move the light source closer to you. The size of your shadow just depends upon how much of the light you are obscuring so the more you block out, the bigger your shadow.
Is Jupiters surface crusty?
No but it usta be but the gases esolved the surface but I my self think there still is but not as much 90 % is mostly is gases .
When the sun light hits the earth what does it do?
About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light. Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.
How much sunlight reaches mars surface?
About half the amount of sunlight reaches the surface of Mars compared to Earth, due to its greater distance from the Sun. The thin atmosphere on Mars also scatters and absorbs some of the sunlight before it reaches the surface.
What Satun's surface look like?
Dim fog. Saturn is a gas giant so there is no hard "surface", it is far from the Sun so there is much less light reaching it than reaches Earth.
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
How much uv light is in sunlight?
Sunlight is composed of three types of ultraviolet (UV) light: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA accounts for about 95% of the UV light that reaches the Earth's surface, while UVB makes up the remaining 5%. UVC is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and does not reach the surface.
Why is only 50 percent of the solar energy that reaches the outer atmosphere absorbed by Earths surface?
The Earth looks bright - thus much of the light reaching Earth is reflected back into space.
Which smooth surfaces reflect light?
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
Why does sunlight reflected off a mirror onto an already sunlit surface appear to be much brighter?
When sunlight hits the wall it is reflected back in all directions. Some of it hits your eye and some of it hits the mirror. The light that hits the mirror re-reflected back to its source and strikes the wall again. That light is then re-re-reflected of the surface and some of it reaches your eye. Basically, the light that would have normally gone elsewhere is given a second chance to reach your eye.
The way a surface reflects light is called?
The way a surface reflects light is called its reflectance. This term describes how much light is reflected off the surface compared to how much is absorbed or transmitted. Reflectance can vary depending on factors such as surface texture, color, and angle of incidence.
Why light becomes dim?
Light becomes dim for several reasons, including distance from the light source, absorption by materials, and scattering in the atmosphere. As light travels farther from its source, it spreads out over a larger area, decreasing its intensity. Additionally, obstacles or particles in the air can absorb or scatter the light, further reducing its brightness. Finally, the characteristics of the surface reflecting the light can also affect how much light reaches an observer.
