What fraction of this solar energy is intercepted by Earth?
Roughly one billionth of the solar energy emitted by the sun is intercepted by Earth. This small fraction of solar energy is what powers Earth's climate system and sustains life on the planet.
What is the solar energy that reaches the planet called?
insolation
What affects the amount of solar energy that the planet receives?
well what affects solar energy i dont have a clue the question is what affects the amount of the solar energy that the planet receives.....
How to calculate the solar constant for a planet?
To calculate the solar constant for a planet, you can use the formula: Solar Constant Total Solar Energy Received / Surface Area of the Planet. This value represents the amount of solar energy that reaches the planet's surface per unit area.
How the moon and the planet shine?
That's because the sun's(or the star in that solar system) light reflects of the moon or the planet
What happens to the solar energy that reaches a planet is called?
The solar energy that reaches a planet is referred to as solar irradiance. This energy can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted by the planet's surface and atmosphere. The absorption of solar energy contributes to the planet's temperature and climate, while reflection can influence the overall energy balance. Ultimately, this energy drives various processes, including photosynthesis, weather patterns, and ocean currents.
How would you explain to someone the difference between a planet and a star?
The planet reflects solar light and a star has its own light.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
Is the moon a source of solar energy?
No, it is not source of any energy as it is a planet not a star.
What is the hottest planet and brightest planet in the sky?
Venus is the brightest and hottest Planet in our solar System.
How solar energy is critical to your lives?
Solar energy is roughly 1378 watts per meter coming on to our planet. Without this energy we would be a cold dead planet, with gravity.It is absolutely a much needed energy source.
How solar powered things work?
Solar powered things work when they reflect off the sun. For example, if you have solar power energy it reflects off the sun making energy and then you can use it.
