Antarctica is where ninety percent of the Earth's ice is found
about 25% is land. 75% is water.
The Arctic Ocean covers roughly 9% of the Earth's surface.
About 29% of the Earth's surface is land, while the remaining 71% is covered by water.
`its the equater...it is always closest to the sun' Actually the equator isn't always closest to the sun the Earth has what is called an axial tilt (its about 22 degrees approximately from memory) its rarely the closest part of the earth closest to the sun, which in itself rarely has much to do with local high temperatures Local conditions (local on a global scale I mean) such as prevailing winds, geographical conditions etc will have a much greater impact on local high temperatures than the equator's closeness (or lack) of to the sun
The amount of the moon that is illuminated by the sun varies as the moon orbits Earth. At any given time, half of the moon is lit by the sun, but we can see different portions of this lit side from Earth depending on the moon's position in its orbit.
Roughly half of the moon is lit by the sun at all times. The moon revolves around the earth so we only see the part of the moon that actually faces the sun, which is how the moon has phases.
Approximately half of the moon is illuminated by the sun at any given time, which corresponds to 50%. This is because the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, with the amount of sunlight it reflects varying depending on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
because the sun is hot and bright
Half of the Earth at a time.
Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, unless the sun is eclipsed by the Earth. The portion of the illuminated moon viewed from Earth depends on the moon's orbit. As the moon orbits, different portions of shadow and illumination are seen from Earth, creating the moon's phases.
The amount of the moon that is always lit except during a lunar eclipse is about half. This is because half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun due to the moon's orbit around the Earth.
eclipse
the answer is the sun
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
No. If the moon is between the earth and sun, It cannot possibly be also lit from the sun on the side that is facing the earth!
