The atmosphere is mostly transparent at the frequencies of visible light; in fact, the fact that our eyes see in that range is probably BECAUSE it is the transparent frequency range.
Light that hits the atmosphere will predominantly penetrate the atmosphere and reach the Earth. Some small percentage of the light will be absorbed or scattered passing through, and a very small percentage will be reflected and bounce back into space.
What else can I help you with?
What can go over the water under the water but never touches the water?
A shadow can go over the water, under the water, but never touches the water.
What is the chemical in the atmosphere that is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet light from the Sun?
Ozone is the chemical that absorbs UV light. It is present in the stratosphere.
The lower part of the atmosphere touches the crust?
Yes. The lowest level of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which includes the part that we breathe.
Which one of these wavelengths are blocked by the earths atmosphere infrared light gamma rays X rays visible light and microwave?
The Earth's atmosphere blocks most gamma rays and X-rays, which are high-energy wavelengths. While some infrared light and microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere, a significant portion of infrared light is absorbed by water vapor and carbon dioxide. Visible light, on the other hand, passes through the atmosphere relatively unimpeded.
How does the lack of atmosphere affect the temperatures on mercury?
Mercury has the thinnest atmosphere so the fast winds from blown up stars go to the thin atmosphere, it will be easier to get in and change the atmosphere
Can photons go through the atmosphere?
Yes. Light is measured in photons and it is quite evident that the atmosphere is transparent to light.
What layer of the atmosphere touches the surface of earth?
troposphere
How is light affected when passing through water?
Light is affected by everything it touches. If it touches a glass of water, it *refracts* (bends).
Why is there no light in space?
Its because there is NOTHING between each star, that light can react against, it's something to do with air, or the atmosphere, because there is no light on the moon, (like there is on earth) since it has no atmosphere. or any sort of gas. The atmosphere scatters the light, no atmosphere, no visible light, (like the light on earth).
What happens to red light when it travels through earth's atmosphere?
As light moves through the atmosphere, it continues to go straight until it bumps into a bit of dust or gas molecules
Where do the products of the light reaction go?
The products of the light reactions will typically go into the atmosphere around the organism. These products are picked up by animals as well.
You live where light is but die if it touches meWhat are you?
Shadow
How evaporation takes place in tea?
light touches it.
Why are Stars are brighter when they are seen from the moon?
No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.No atmosphere (air) that dims the light from the stars.
What does light touch first when entering a camera?
The lens are the first thing that light touches when entering the camera.
What can go over the water under the water but never touches the water?
A shadow can go over the water, under the water, but never touches the water.
How are clouds made up of ice crystals?
The high atmosphere is very cold. so as soon as a gas cloud touches the high atmosphere it turns into a ice crystals.
