Light solar energy results from nuclear fusion and the sun score which creates an Anne Morris continuous flow of radiant energy the travel throughout the solar system the energy that reaches us from all the stars twinkling in our Galaxy cannot compare with what we receive from the sun the only significant source of energy for earths atmosphere
The radiant energy is released in the form of electromagnetic waves which travel from the sun in straight lines at the speed of light when 86,000 miles a second
Although the intensity of the energy diminish as it travels 93 million miles from the sun to earth outer atmosphere the amount of energy received by earth from the sun is tense second still in equivalent to all the electricity generated on the planet in one week
Electromagnetic waves vary in length which is measured as the distance between the crests of where all the type of these ways together constitute the electromagnetic spectrum which ranges from extremely short ultraviolent waves to very long radio waves visible light which occupies a narrowband of spectrum compromises colour that vary in wavelength from short to long
Shorter wavelength scattered more effectively in the atmosphere which is why the earth is blue a colour which is relatively short wavelength on a sunny day at drawn and dusk light must pass through more atmosphere allowing the longer orange and red light waves to predominant over the widely scattered blue waves
What makes a Rainbow ??
The multi colour are cover rainbow is produced by sunlight striking raindrops be neither in cloud knew line light reflects refracts bends when it passes through drop of water each water of light refracts at a different wavelength Violet went more than blue which spent more than green and so on with red and effecting the least if sunlight enters a raindrop at just the proper angle it refracts and it many colour spread into visible array sunlight refracted 3 million of raindrops from the rainbow on a primary red is outside colour and violated the inside colour occasionally a secondary rainbow appeared slightly higher in the sky and in it the colour of rainbow are reversed a rainbows position in the sky depends on the sun’s altitude above the horizon the lower the sun the higher the rainbow appears
What makes the Northern Lights??
named for the Roman Goddess of dawn an Aurora is a colorful nightly light display in or near the Arctic and Antarctic circle in the north the displays are called Aurora borealis north eastern lights in the South it is Aurora Australia's southern lights gashes elements in the sun splits into electrically charged particle the sun’s surface continuously shared these particles some of which flow towards earth as solar wind that particle that penetrate the earth magnetic field enter the upper atmosphere and the bombarded gases the resulting collision produces energy visible as arts streaks or curtains of colored light which particularly intense SolarWinds activity increase increases and the lights are seen from far away
Northern Lights paint the sky in early shades of yellow red and green up staging the city light of White Horse capital of the Yukon territory of Canada and active night display on earth is a sign of intense solar wind activity on the sun
