Because Saturn is 890.8 million miles from the sun, and its thick and turbulent atmosphere like Jupiter, it only gets about 1/83 the sunlight of Earth.

∙ 9y agoThe brightness of the sun is mostly dependent on its apparent size or area from a certain distance. The sun is about 10 times farther from Saturn than the Earth, so its diameter and brightness should be about 1/10π (~0.031831) that of the brightness from Earth.

Is Saturn direct light?
Saturn's light is reflected Sunlight.
What type of sunlight does Saturn have?
Saturn does not generate its own star light, but instead reflects the light of our sun. At 9 AU, 1/9^2 as much solar energy reaches Saturn as Earth. That is a little more than 1%.
What is the source of light for Saturn?
Saturn's primary source of light is the Sun. The Sun illuminates Saturn just like it does the other planets in our solar system. Additionally, Saturn's rings and moons also reflect sunlight, adding to the brightness of the planet.
Two planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are?
Two examples of planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are Jupiter and Saturn. These gas giants emit more thermal energy due to their internal heat sources, such as radiation leftover from their formation and gravitational compression.
Does the sun have a ecological footprint?
No. The sun is allowed to radiate as much as it likes.
At night what are the heavenly bodies you see in the sky?
They are stars that, like our Sun, radiate light. Then there are planets, like Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, etc, that reflects light shinning on them from our Sun.
What is the ability to radiate light?
Luminescence.
How much sun light does Saturn get a day?
a lot
What is a sentence using the word radiate?
The sun's rays radiate heat and light across our solar system.
Bodies that radiate light are called?
Luminous
What is the medium for light?
Light, whatever the wavelength, does not need a medium in order to radiate.
Is Saturn direct light?
Saturn's light is reflected Sunlight.
Two planets that are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun are?
Jupiter and Saturn......... by R.E
What type of sunlight does Saturn have?
Saturn does not generate its own star light, but instead reflects the light of our sun. At 9 AU, 1/9^2 as much solar energy reaches Saturn as Earth. That is a little more than 1%.
Why not earth radiate light?
Earth does radiate light in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted as heat energy. This radiation is typically in the infrared range and is a result of the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight and then re-emitting it as heat.
What objects can radiate energy?
Objects that can radiate energy include stars, light bulbs, heated coils, and the Earth's surface. The type of radiation (such as heat, light, or electromagnetic waves) emitted by an object depends on its temperature and composition.
What is the synonym for ray of light?
A verb with a meaning 'to shine with a sudden light' is illuminate.
