The tops of mountains receive sunlight just like lower elevations. However, the air is thinner at higher altitudes, which means it can absorb and retain less heat. Additionally, the angle of the sun's rays and the presence of clouds can also affect the amount of heat reaching the mountain peaks.
What else can I help you with?
What resource does not use the sun's energy in any way?
geothermal doesnt use the suns energy in any way.
Which heat transfer doesnt need a medium to move through?
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require a medium to move through. It can occur through empty space, such as the heat from the sun reaching Earth through the vacuum of space.
Is the sun a good heat insulator?
No, the sun is not a heat insulator. In fact, the sun is a major source of heat and radiation for the Earth. It emits heat and light energy that warms our planet.
What kind of heat is the sun?
Radiant heat I assume you mean the heat emitted by the Sun rather than the heat of the Sun itself.
What kind of heat is felt from the sun?
The heat felt from the sun is primarily infrared radiation. This type of heat is caused by the sun's energy being absorbed by the Earth's surface and then radiated back as heat.
Does Suns have mountains?
No, the sun has no mountains it's not suppose too! it doesnt have volcanoes either
Does the sun have mountains?
No, the Sun does not have mountains. The Sun is a giant ball of hot gas made mostly of hydrogen and helium. It doesn't have a solid surface like planets or moons, so there are no features like mountains on the Sun.
How do mountains create their own local winds?
Mountains can not create a wind. Winds are the result of the heat coming from the Sun and the heat radiated by the Earth into space. They are the atmospheres response to the differential of heat within the atmosphere. All mountains do is modify the the flow of the wind as they act as barriers to this flow.
How is solar energy from the Sun transferred to the Earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.
How is solar energy transferred to the sun to the earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.
What layer of the sun's atmosphere is composed of granular cells?
The layer of the sun's atmosphere composed of granular cells is the photosphere. This is the visible surface of the sun where energy is emitted in the form of light and heat. Granular cells are convective cells of gas that transport heat from the sun's interior to the surface.
Is the moon made of plasmas?
no because the light that comes from the moon is from the sun. so it doesnt make its own heat or light. so no
The sun is our what of heat?
the sun is our source of heat
What do mountains in Pennsylvania look like?
In the mountains themselves, the mountains have high peaks, deep valleys with stunning views to other mountain peaks, with fog that can cover the tops until the sun burns it away. However, these are "old" mountains, worn so they are lower. Pennsylvania also has rolling hills and valleys, with many rocky cliffs, where streams and rivers run in valleys.
Is there any mountains on Uranus the planet?
No. It's a different planet millions and billion of miles away from the only heat source in space- the sun. So how can mountains form? It can't, it's not possible.
What does the sun heat?
what does the sun heat.
How do you grow popcorn in the sun?
you dont grow it you cook it. and the way you can cook it is wrap tinfoil around it and the light of the sun will heatup the tinfoil and the tinfoil will heat up the curnal and make it POP! If that doesnt work, get a magnifying glass and put it over it to cook it/ heat it up.
