What else can I help you with?
What continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the suns rays hit it?
Any object that has a high albedo (ability to reflect light) and low specific heat capacity will absorb and increase in temperature when exposed to the sun's rays. Examples include dark-colored surfaces like asphalt or sand.
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.
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 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.
Is the suns rays gamma rays?
No, the Sun mostly emits visible light rays. A small amount of gamma rays might be emitted, but they would be insignificant. Inside the Sun, gamma rays are produced but they never escape in that form. The super-heated gases around the sun in the chromosphere emit mostly higher energy xrays, UV rays but also some gamma rays. Natural gamma rays sources are thought to be the most energetic events in the Universe. Although Supernovae seem to be the source of some, others are still somewhat mysterious.
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
When suns energy is on snow what happens?
The sun rays reflect off the snow making it bright and the sun also melts the snow.
Why do houses in the Mediterranean have flat roofs?
to reflect the suns rays
How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
Can you get sunburn by reflection of the suns rays off of objects such as sitting in the shade at a ballpark and having the uv rays reflect off of the sunny parts in the park?
Absolutely. Same as getting sun burnt off of the waters reflection at a pool when your not in the actual rays of the sun.
Why does the moon have a orange color in the fall?
The reason it looks a little orange in fall is because of the sun> a eclipse is about to happen when the suns rays reflect off the moon
How are the star and sun similar?
Stars reflect the suns light
Why does the o zone layer not reflect the suns rays before they are absorbed by our atmosphere?
The ozone layer does not reflect the sun's rays because it is made up of ozone molecules that absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The ozone layer acts as a protective shield, absorbing UV rays and preventing them from reaching the Earth's surface where they can cause harm to living organisms.
Which region always receives the suns most direct rays?
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
Can satellites block the rays of the sun?
Yes, but the suns rays quickly form over the soon to be eclipse.
How do you get your energy from the sun?
the suns rays come down and you get a nice tan or sunburn.
Why is it important never to look directly to the sun?
because of the suns bright rays!!
