yes, it isEDIT: no it isn't ! The earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit - closer at one part of the year than at other times. The average distance is approx 93,000,000 miles. Earth is closer to the sun during the northern hemisphere's winter (early January) and furthest away in July.

Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?

no


Why do w have different temperature at the same time in different parts of the world?

since the rays of the sun hit mostly the middle of the earth that is the equator known as the main area of the ITCZ (inter tropical convergence zone ) ,that is the area that will receive most of the heat and dude to the earth's rotation winds are created which are the cause of the so called trade winds they carry winds towards the poles of the earth other factors are responsible for the distribution of heat but sun rays mostly reach the middle and outer middle of earth which is mainly responsible for the equator and regions closest to it to be hottest areas and the poles colder


How is absolute zero originally determined?

The volume of gases decreases with temperature; extrapolating the volume/temperature relationship, it looked as if all gases would reach a volume of zero at approximately the same temperature, about minus 273 degrees centigrade.


Which would be the first to reach Earth if a light signal and a radio signal were emitted from a star?

It would be a tie; both light and radio are electromagnetic waves, as are X-rays, gamma rays, ultra-violet and infrared. They all travel at the same speed, the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second, or 186,000 miles per second.


What is the temperature of wood at room temperature?

Everything that has been in the room for a long enough time to reach thermal equilibrium will be at the same temperature, including wood. So if room temp. is 70 F then the wood is 70 F.

Why would gamma rays and light waves reach the earth at the same time?

Gamma rays and light waves can reach Earth at the same time if they are emitted simultaneously from the same event, such as a supernova explosion. Since both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, they can arrive on Earth together, despite having different properties and wavelengths.


Does gama rays reach earth?

A few of them do. Gamma rays are the same as x-rays, only with such higher frequencies than they have a special name. Fortunately for us, our atmosphere is opaque to all but the really powerful ones.


Why does the earth not reach the same temperatures as the moon?

because of the temperature of the atmosphere, they are in different places, the temp of the atmosphere is different.


What happens to the temperature as the angle at which the Sun's Rays strike earth's surface increases as the angle decreases what happens to the length of shadows at the same time?

What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earth's surface increases. As the angle decreases. What happens to the length of the shadows at the same time?

As the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface increases, the temperature tends to decrease. As the angle decreases, temperature tends to increase. At the same time, as the sun's angle decreases, shadows appear longer because the light is being cast at a greater angle.


Is Reach larger then Earth?

No, reach is about the same size, notice that reach is full of craters, so it has a different atmosphere to earth.


What causes the different seasons on the earth?

Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted. Earth's axis is always pointed in the same direction, so different parts of Earth get the Sun's direct rays throughout the year.


What is the temperature of the inside of earth?

The same temperature as the rock in which it sits (the aquifer).


Does mars have the same temperature as earth?

No, its colder.


What is it called when two objects at different temperature reach the same temperature?

It is called thermal equilibrium. At thermal equilibrium, the two objects have the same temperature and there is no net flow of heat between them.


How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth surface?

If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.


How long does it take the sun to reach earths suface?

If the sun moves, the Earth also moves in such a way as to maintain the same average 93 million miles of distance between them. So the sun will never reach Earth's surface. There is, however, a lot of electromagnetic radiation pouring out of the sun ... light, heat, X-rays, things like that. When those leave the sun, they arrive at the Earth about 81/3 minutes later.
