Properties of a sphere?
Every point on the surface of a sphere is the same distance from a fixed point in 3-dimensional space.
How many lines does a cone have?
Infinitely many. There are infinitely many lines from the apex to the base. Every point on each of these lines is on the surface of the cone.
1 square meter equals how?
1 square meter is the area of a square, that has 1 meter on every side. Also, any other figure that has the same surface area, for example, a rectangle of 1/2 meter times 2 meters.1 square meter is the area of a square, that has 1 meter on every side.

Is every rectangle a square using counterexample?
Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.

Which point on earths surface experiences night for 24 hours every day?
There is no point on the earths surface that experiences night for 24 hours every day.
What do you find on the earths surface?
us!, what you walk on every day- THE GROUND!
The geothermal is about 25C for every 1km of depth below Earths surface?

What determines the amount of solar energy absorbed by the earth?
Every location on Earth receives sunlight at least part of the year. The amount of solar radiation that reaches any one "spot" on the Earth's surface varies according to these factors:Geographic locationTime of daySeasonLocal landscapeLocal weather.Diffuse and Direct Solar RadiationAs sunlight passes through the atmosphere, some of it is absorbed, scattered, and reflected by the following: Air moleculesWater vaporCloudsDustPollutantsForest firesVolcanoes.This is called diffuse solar radiation. The solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface without being diffused is called direct beam solar radiation. The sum of the diffuse and direct solar radiation is called global solar radiation. Atmospheric conditions can reduce direct beam radiation by 10% on clear, dry days and by 100% during thick, cloudy days.
The geothermal is about 25 degrees Celsius for every 1 km of depth below earths surface?

What space matter has fallen into earths surface from outer space?
About 100 tonnes of "micrometeorites" litter Earth every day.
How often does the moon pass over a particular spot on Earths surface?
Once every 24 hours and 50 minutes. ;]
Where does light go once you turn a light off?
Every time light hits a surface, some will be absorbed (and turn into heat) and some will be reflected away until it hits another surface where another part of it is absorbed. Eventually all the light will be used up.
How do you convert mrads to mrems?
A rad measures the amount of radiation absorbed by a gram of material where as a rem measures the biological effects of different kinds of radiation. To measure the degree of biological effects produced by radiation you would need to know the mrad value as well as the type of radiation because different types of radiation produce different degrees of damage. For example every 1 mrad of beta or gamma radiation produces 1 mrem, every 1 mrad of high energy protons and neurons produce 10 mrems and every 1 mrad of alpha particles produce 20 mrems.
Is half of the suns energy is absorbed by earths surface?
The Earth receives 174 petawatts [See Link] of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at the upper atmosphere. Approximately 30% is reflected back to space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans and land masses. For a pictorial description of insolation losses [See Link]
Which baseline runs from Earths surface to the North Pole?
Every line of longitude north of the Equator is a baseline that runs on the Earth's surface to the North Pole. Prime here is the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees.
How much amount of solar energy by earth every day?
The average solar radiation hitting the planet is considered to be about 352 watts/meter squared. Total radiation hitting our atmosphere is about 1366 watts/meter squared. The rest of this energy is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere.
