What is the approximate percentage of the earth that is illuminted by the sun?

That 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.

Is the speed of revolution of earth is 30 km per sec?
Yes, that is the approximate speed of Earth, as it goes around the Sun. 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.

What is the diameter of the sun in meters?
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).
What percentage of the sun is heat and what percentage is light?
52
What is the name of the orbit shape of the sun and earth?
The Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical (egg-shaped) orbit.
What is the probability of the sun crashing into the earth?
It is 0. The sun will eventually expand into a red giant and "swallow" the earth but that is not the same as crashing into it.
149598000 kilometers is the distance from here to?
The approximate distance from the Sun to the Earth.
Is the sun 93 million miles from earth?
Yes. It is an approximate distance
How does Earth eat?
Our Sun is an average star and it has an approximate lifespan of 1 second
What is the approximate of earth's revolution around the sun?
1 degree per day
What is the approximate rate of Earth's revolution around the Sun?
1 degree per day

How far does the earth travel when orbiting the sun?
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).
How does sunlight reach the earth?
The sun's heat radiates out from the sun in all directions. A tiny percentage lands on earth (luckily!).
What is the approximate of the sun?
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.
What percentage of the sun makes earth?
This question does not make any sense.
When the earth revolves around the sun how far has the earth traveled?
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
What is the diameter of the sun in meters?
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).
