Hey, /sci. In regard to a hole about a kilometer deep and a kilometre wide, how much would light reach the bottom? how would it be illuminated throughout the sun cycle? etc.
Any info to do with this Hole you could give me would be useful.

Thanks. :)

did you even try to draw anything about your problem ? This is like first grade math

To steelman, if you add in diffuse reflection it gets slightly interesting.

it depends on the atmospheric makeup of the air within the hole

Not really sure how the fuck this could be useful but...
It depends on the position of the sun, shape of the hole, and what the atmosphere of the hole is made of.
Assuming the suns directly above the hole (12:00), the hole is just straight down with nothing above it and not atmospheric conditions or gasses, then it could probably get 100% of the light.

But flashlights were invented for a reason.

This is for a novel I am planning. Assuming the planet is like Earth, what is the possible nature of a hole such as this?

Once again, any help - lots of details - with this would be of great use to me and really appreciated. :)
If you want to make an unhelpful, unintelligent comment, that's fine too. You want to be normal, I get it.
