What is the explanation for the hottest place on earth?
`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
What percent of the moon is lit by the sun?
50% of the moon is always lit
What percent of the moon is lit by the sun at any time how can you tell?
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.

What percentage of the sun's energy that reaches earth is absorbed by the earth's surface?
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.
