How much sunlight does a grassland recieve?

Answer 1

That depends on where the grasland is.

A grassland in Wyoming will get a lot less sunlight than a grassland in Indonesia just because equatorial regions get more sunlight than temperate regions.

A grassland in Namibia will get much more sunlight than a grassland in Brazil because Namibia has far fewer cloudy days than Brazil.

Answer 2

On a sunny day the Earth receives a few hundred watts of sunlight per square metre. But green plants like grass aren't very efficient at absorbing solar energy. For a start photosynthesis only used blue and red light. Chlorophyll reflects the green part of the spectrum. That's why plants are green. Even the fastest growing crop, sugar cane, stores less than 1 % of the solar energy that falls on it as sugar and cellulose.

Answer 3

Depends on many factors such as the area of the grassland, its geographical location, the presence of sun-blocking obstacles, and the weather . Those are just some of the ones that come to mind.
