What is produced in the upper atmosphere when sunlight strikes oxygen atoms and causes them to temporarily combine?
Ozone
What best explains how green plants absorbs energy from the sun?
A photon strikes electrons in special molecules in the cells A.S.Apex go apex >A<
How does the sun's energy affect air at the equator and the north pole differently?
Sunlight strikes the equator directly, and over a shorter distance through the earth's atmosphere, so retains more heat. At the poles, the sunlight strikes at an angle, and the light travels further through the atmosphere, so being much cooler.
Electrons within certain chlorophyll molecules are elevated to a higher energy level when sunlight strikes a?
strikes the photosystems that consist of many secondary chlorophyll and b karotenes which pass the energy to the reaction centre which is a primary chlorophyll.
What changes would you notice if human skin absorbed all the visible light that struck it?
Anything that absorbs all the visible light that strikes it appears totally black.
What is a material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes is?
opaque
What is a material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
What is a materiel that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it?
It is an 'opaque' materiel.
What is a material that absorbs or reflect light that strike it is called?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
How does polar ice that sunlight strikes help reduce global warming?
When sunlight strikes polar ice much of it is reflected back into space. This, called the albedo effect, slows global warming. When the ice melts the sun strikes the dark water, which absorbs heat much better
What is the material the reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it?
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.
What is the material that reflects or absorbs all of light that strikes it?
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.

Which substance is one which absorbs or reflects any light that strikes it?
All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.
What layer does sunlight strikes first?
The Earth's layer that sunlight strikes first is the ozone layer.

When a light ray strikes a mirror it?
Reflects
