What else can I help you with?
When nearly vertical rays of solar energy strike a region of the earth thhat has warm temperatures. What region of the earth is nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?
The tropics.
What gases 1carbon dioxide 2 nitrogen 3 ozone protects us from harmful sun rays?
Ozone protects us from harmful UV rays by absorbing and scattering the radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface. Nitrogen plays a minor role in protecting us from harmful sun rays since it mainly acts as a diluent in the atmosphere, helping to reduce the intensity of solar radiation. Carbon dioxide does not directly protect us from harmful sun rays but it contributes to the greenhouse gas effect, which traps some of the sun's heat on Earth.
Is the earth protected from the suns harmful rays?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere plays a crucial role in protecting us from harmful solar radiation. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, shielding us from their harmful effects. Without this protection, life on Earth would be significantly impacted by excessive exposure to solar radiation.
Does the solar rays strike the equator at 180 angle?
No, solar rays do not strike the equator at a 180-degree angle. The angle at which the sunlight strikes the equator varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This variation is what causes the seasons.
What helps earth deflect cosmic rays?
It's a shield omitted from the north and returning to the south pole it consist of magnetisim..The name for it is the magnetosphere ,do a google search on it, it's messed up right now! The atmosphere helps some, but not so much!
What process produces rays that travel in all directions?
Scattering
When nearly vertical rays of solar energy strike a region of the earth thhat has warm temperatures. What region of the earth is nearly vertical rays of solar energy year around?
The tropics.
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
Are gamma rays blocked by the atmosphere?
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
What are Electrically charged particles that are carried to the earth called?
Solar Rays
What is the name of the thing that protects the earth from solar rays?
Ozone layer
What happens when particles and gas molecules in the atmosphere reflect and bend solar rays?
The process of scattering occurs when small particles and gas molecules diffuse part of the incoming solar radiation in random directions without any alteration to the wavelength of the electromagnetic energy. This factor also causes our sky to look blue because this color corresponds to those wavelengths that are best diffused. If scattering did not occur in our atmosphere the daylight sky would be black.
Could gamma rays be blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
What is associated with weak light rays that travel in different direction?
scattering
How do solar panels help your earth?
By saving power because of sun rays
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
No, not all of the solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. The angle of the sun’s rays varies depending on the latitude, time of year, and time of day. At the equator, for example, the sun’s rays are more direct, while at higher latitudes, the rays are more oblique.
Is the sunset still energy?
Yes, sunset can be considered as indirect energy as it represents the dissipation of solar energy accumulated throughout the day. The colors we see during sunset are a result of the scattering of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere, which is a form of energy transfer.
