What is sunshine-?
Sunshine is the light that comes to the earth from the sun, the massive star in the center of our solar system around which the earth revolves. The ultra violet light in sunshine is needed for plant and animal life on earth to continue.
As the moon moves around the earth what does an observer on earth see?
He sees the phases of the moon. A varying amount of the sunlit surface is visible as the moon goes through its phases, having increased or decreased illumination with a curved boundary.
If flowers grow in sunshine why is it dark?
Because the Earth rotates.
How does the earth exchange energy with the universe?
Radiation. Mostly sunshine in, infrared radiation outward.
What would be the result of decreased vegetation on earth?
Decreased vegetation on Earth could lead to negative impacts such as increased soil erosion, reduced carbon sequestration, loss of habitat for wildlife, and decreased biodiversity. This can have cascading effects on ecosystems and human well-being, including food security and climate regulation.
Why the temperatures vary from mornings to afternoons?
tilt of the earth, rotating earth amount of sunlight hitting the earth
Do all areas of the earth average the same amount of sun?
In terms of the simple visibility of the sun in the sky, yes. In terms of the amount of energy from the sun hitting the earth, no.
How is sunshine measured?
Sunshine can be measured using a sunshine duration meter, which records the number of hours per day that the sun is visible. This data is typically used to calculate the percentage of possible sunshine for a specific location. Another way to indirectly measure sunshine is by using a pyranometer to measure the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
How much has earth magnetic field decreased?
There is no evidence that it has decreased.
What is sunshine-?
Sunshine is the light that comes to the earth from the sun, the massive star in the center of our solar system around which the earth revolves. The ultra violet light in sunshine is needed for plant and animal life on earth to continue.
What is the total number of joules hitting the earth each year?
The total amount of solar energy hitting the Earth each year is estimated to be about 173,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (173 exajoules). This energy drives processes such as climate patterns, ocean currents, and photosynthesis.
What would happen to global temperatures if the amount of greenhouse gases increased or decreased?
If the amount of greenhouse gases increased, it would lead to a stronger greenhouse effect, trapping more heat in the Earth's atmosphere and causing global temperatures to rise. On the other hand, if the amount of greenhouse gases decreased, it would weaken the greenhouse effect, resulting in cooler global temperatures.
How does the amount of sun hitting the earth changed during the year?
It's slightly less in July, when the earth is farthest from the sun, and slightly more in January, when the earth is closest to the sun. But these differences are very small.
Does the amount of energy on Earth stay the same?
there is power hitting the face of the earth from the sun and universe emissions. and there is radiated power from the core and surface leaving earth. but if you do not look at those, it can be said that the amount of energy on this earth remains the same all the way down to the last thousandth of a joule (or deeper).
How does the angle of sunlight hitting the earth affect the energy the earth receives?
The angle of sunlight hitting the earth affects the amount of energy the earth receives because sunlight is spread over a larger area when it hits at a lower angle, resulting in less concentrated energy. This can impact the intensity of heat and light received at the surface, influencing weather patterns and climate.
When an object from earth lands on the moon has its weight decreased or stayed the same?
Its weight has decreased to 1/6 of what is was on Earth, but its mass is still the same.
Is eclipse a planet?
No. An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth, and a lunar eclipse is the shadow of the Earth hitting the Moon.
