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.
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.
What happens when sun hits solar panels?
When sunlight hits solar panels, the panels absorb the photons in the sunlight and generate an electric current through the photovoltaic effect. This current is then converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable for powering homes or businesses.
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.
Is the weather warm or cold near the equator and why?
Because the suns rays are striking the earth and it is striking mostly the middle, (equator). It is hot. <--- That was suppose to be at the start lawll.
Does ice reflect suns rays in Antarctica?
It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
How much of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere?
About 17% of the suns rays get absorbed into our atmosphere
What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
What blocks the sun?
Clouds, buildings, sun block (cream or lotion applied to the skin). A solar eclipse, the moon blocks the suns rays from striking the Earth. Lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon.
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.
What protects us from the suns uv rays?
The thing which protects us from suns UV rays is the ozone. It is an allotrope of oxygen element.
How are the suns rays like mathematical rays?
their both make with shapes
How are the suns rays like the mathematical rays?

Where are blue skies?
Well when the suns rays hits our Earths atmosphere, the suns rays scatter across the world nearly and becomes blue skies...
What is mostly affected by the suns ultraviolet rays?
The ozone layer is mostly affected the by the suns ultraviolet rays. This layer is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere.
