An insect eats a leaf. how does the insect depend on sun for energy?
The insect depends on the sun for energy because the sun is the source of energy for most living things
Does a lion obtain energy directly from the sun or indirectly?
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
What role does the sun play in how animals obtain their energy?
The role the sun plays is that it gives energy to different living organisms.
How does energy from the sun get to us through a chicken?
sun --> grain --> chicken --> you
How does energy get into an ecosystem?
begins at the sun, where primary producers (plants) convert it into usable energy by photsynthesis.
What is the energy received from the sun?
Radiant energy (heat and light).
What is the example of radiant energy?
Heat from the Sun received on earth.
What is the energy from the sun that is received by the earth known as?
radiation, ultraviolet, infared
Why is the sun the only thing that can keep us alive?
Most of the energy received by Earth comes from the sun, without this energy, life could not not exist.
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal is called what?
radiation balance
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal it is called what?
radiation balance
What does energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
What is it called when the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal called?
radiation balance
How does the Suns energy flow change with the distance from the sun?
The Sun radiates its energy in every direction. The amount of energy received per square meter of exposed surface will decrease by the square of the distance. So, if you double the distance, the amount of energy received will be reduced to one-fourth; if you triple the distance, the energy will be reduced to one ninth.
What is the source of energy that drives convection into the earths apmosphere?
radiation received from the Sun!! :D
What is the source of energy that drives convection within the Earth's atmosphere?
radiation received from the Sun
What does earth's energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
