Light How does the fact that the atmosphere is denser in some places affect sunlight? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 10/25/2012 2:01 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 11/23/2012 10:47 PM
Having a denser atmosphere affects sunlight in that it dims the light beams. More atmosphere diffuses the light beams, spreading it out over a wider radius, making it seem less bright.
