∙ 10y agoThat should be approximately 50%, considering that the Earth is round, and the Sun is almost a point-source at a fairly large distance (compared to the size of the Earth). This does not consider clouds or mountains blocking sunlight. Considering that we don't see the Sun exactly as a point, as well as atmospheric refraction, the actual percentage is somewhat larger - once again, if you don't consider mountains or clouds.

The exact speed depends on whether Earth is at periapsis or apapsis, but 30 km/sec. is a good approximation.Yes, that is the approximate speed of Earth, as it goes around the Sun.

The Sun's diameter is approximately 1,391,000,000 meters in length, which is over 100 times the approximate diameter of the Earth (12,756,200 meters).

The Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical (egg-shaped) orbit.
Slightly less than 50%. Without an atmosphere, it would be 50% but diffraction of sunlight in the earth's atmosphere means that sunlight "wraps around" the termonator - giving us dusk and twilight. These are periods when it is light even though the sun is not visible.
The distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 149.6 million kilometers.
Yes. It is an approximate distance
Our Sun is an average star and it has an approximate lifespan of 1 second
1 degree per day

You can approximate Earth's orbit as a circle, and therefore use the formula for the circumference of a circle. The radius is the distance Sun-Earth (150 million kilometers).
The sun has many measurable features, which include distance from the Earth, diameter, weight, brightness, temperature. You need to say what you are asking about.
This question does not make any sense.
This is an approximate answer. The Earth is 93 million miles from the sun. The circumference or orbit is 2 * pi * r , so 2 x 3.14 x 93 million = 584 million miles. Note this is approximate since the suns radius needs to be taken into consideration

Calculating the circumference of an ellipse is complicated, but you can approximate Earth's path as a circle, since it is quite close to one. So, just multiply the average Earth-Sun distance by (2 x pi).
AU is standard notation for an anatomical unit. One anatomical unit is equivalent to 149 597 870kilometers, and is the approximate mean distance from the earth to the sun.
