Nope. Light particles (photons)are nowhere near energetic enough to do that. On the other hand, tiny super-high-energy particles called, "Neutrinos" from outside the Earth are right now passing through you, me, and the entire Earth. There are not many materials dense enough to stop Neutrinos!

What happens to visible light when it enters earths atmosphere?
When visible light enters Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with air molecules and scatters in different directions. Some of the light is absorbed by gases like ozone and water vapor, while the rest continues through the atmosphere and reaches the surface of the Earth, enabling us to see our surroundings.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
How ling does it take for light to travel from the sun to the earths surface?
For sunlight to reach the Earth's Surface is about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
One difference between reflection and refraction of light waves is that?
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
How do gamma rays at the core become visible light at the surface?
In the core of a star, high-energy gamma rays are produced through nuclear fusion processes. These gamma rays travel through the layers of the star, losing energy through interactions until they reach the surface. At the surface, the gamma rays are converted into visible light through processes like thermal radiation or scattering, making the star shine with visible light.
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What happens to light which does not go into the glass block?
Light that does not enter the glass block will either continue traveling through the air or be reflected off the surface of the glass block. The reflected light may create a reflection or be absorbed by the surroundings.
How long does it take for light to travel from the sun the Earths surface?
8 minutes or 500 seconds(approx.)
Why does light go through a window?
Light passes through a window because glass is a transparent material that allows certain wavelengths of light to transmit through it. When light strikes the glass, it is refracted, or bent, as it enters and exits the material, allowing it to continue traveling in a new direction. The atomic structure of the glass does not absorb visible light, which is why we can see through it. Additionally, the smooth surface of the glass minimizes scattering, further enabling light to pass through with clarity.
What is the light colored shadow on the earths surface cast by the moon during a solar eclipse?
The umbra ans penumbra
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
What is the flash of light produced when a meteoroid passes through the earths atmosphere?
meteor ^v^
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
Most of the visible light and some of the ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun pass through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.
When a beam of light falls on a surface it is called?
When a beam of light falls on a surface, it is called reflection if it bounces off the surface, or refraction if it passes through the surface and changes direction.
Can light travel if there is no air?
Yes, as light requires no particles to move, although it will spread and continue infinitely until it hits another surface
What happens to light when it hits a surface?
When light hits a surface, three things can happen: it can be absorbed by the surface, reflected off the surface, or transmitted through the surface. The amount of light that is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depends on the properties of the surface material.
