Simon Bridge said:The concept of temperature does not apply to individual rays.
The heat you experience off sunlight comes from the density of the rays (we'd say "flux") rather than from individual rays. Since the rays diverge in all directions, the density of the rays (the number that pass through each square meter) decreases with distance from the sun. At double the distance, the number of rays is quartered.
But we need to be careful - the word "ray" has a specific definition in science and I am not sure that is the definition you are using.
I don't know what you mean by "does space have property" ... and I'm not sure that "void" is a precise term ...
Are you asking about the classical vacuum?
There is a sense in which we can talk about the properties of empty space - you have been doing that as soon as you say it is empty ... which suggests it has the property of volume. Things can travel in it - so it has to have an extent and a geometry ... we can discover the geometry by tracing trajectories just like we discover the geometry of the surface of the Earth. It's a big subject ... so the short answer is "yes: it makes sense to talk about space having properties".
No. The moviemakers were using artistic license. You'll see other movies where other things happen.kalidas1992 said:Thank you san for clearing my doubt. I have seen in a film featuring a scene when a astronomer opens his space helmet off his head his head getting shattered into tiny pieces. Does that makes sense or is that what really happens?
Sun rays lose heat in space due to a lack of medium to transfer the heat. In Earth's atmosphere, heat is transferred through convection and conduction, but in the vacuum of space, there is no medium for these processes to occur. Additionally, the sun's rays lose heat through radiation, but this process is less efficient in the vacuum of space.
The vacuum of space has a significant impact on the loss of heat from sun rays. As mentioned, there is no medium for heat transfer to occur, making radiation the primary means of heat loss in space. However, radiation is less efficient than convection and conduction, resulting in a slower rate of heat loss.
The sun's magnetic field plays a crucial role in the loss of heat from sun rays in space. The magnetic field creates a protective bubble known as the heliosphere that shields the solar system from high-energy particles. This bubble also helps to trap and contain the sun's heat, preventing it from dissipating too quickly into space.
Yes, the distance from the sun does impact the rate of heat loss from sun rays in space. The further away an object is from the sun, the less intense the sun's radiation is, resulting in a slower rate of heat loss. This is why objects farther from the sun, such as Pluto, are significantly colder than those closer to the sun, such as Mercury.
The loss of heat from sun rays in space has a direct impact on the temperature of planets. Planets that are closer to the sun, like Mercury, have higher temperatures due to the intense radiation from the sun. Meanwhile, planets farther from the sun, such as Neptune, have much lower temperatures due to the slower rate of heat loss from sun rays. The loss of heat also plays a role in creating the diverse range of temperatures we see among different planets in our solar system.
