Do suns have rays

Yes; Stars give off energy in the form of light, during the reaction taking place with their hydrogen and other elements.

This energy travels in the form of infra-red radiation, which travels in a wave (a ray), as radiation can travel in a vacuum, whereas the other methods of heat transfer cannot.

So while Stars do not "have" rays, they do give them off.

What happens to the energy from the suns rays?

The energy from the sun's rays is absorbed by the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then converted into heat, which drives weather patterns, ocean currents, and the growth of plants through photosynthesis.


What happens when the suns rays are striking moisture?

When the sun's rays strike moisture, it causes the water to evaporate and turn into water vapor. This process is known as evaporation, where water molecules gain enough energy from the sun to break their bonds and rise into the atmosphere.


When the suns rays strike earths surface what does energy do?

When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface, the energy is either absorbed, reflected, or scattered. This energy is essential for driving various processes on Earth, such as warming the surface, powering the water cycle, and enabling photosynthesis in plants.


What type of lens can focus the suns rays?

A converging lens, specifically a convex lens, can focus the sun's rays to a single point called the focal point. This can produce intense heat, known as a solar focus, which can be used for various applications such as solar cooking or solar power generation.


Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?

If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
