Why would solar panels generate less electrical energy on mars than earth?

Mars is always further away from the sun than the earth is. Therefore, the light that reaches the surface on mars is much weaker than on earth, so solar panels are not quite as effective.

What is geothermal energy generate from?
the inside of the earth!
Name some processes driven by energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun provides a large part of the earth's energy use, the other part coming from internal thermal energy. Sunlight makes vegetation grow through photosynthesis. It drives the earth's weather patterns through absorption of infrared energy. It can also generate electricity directly using photovoltaic panels.
What are 3 renewable sources of energy and an example of each?
Wind turbines take the mechanical energy of wind to generate electricity. Solar cells and solar collectors take the electromagnetic energy in sunlight to generate electrical energy or generate thermal energy to heat a substance. Hydroelectric facilities use the power of water under the influence of gravity to generate mechanical energy and (often) electric power. Let's throw in the idea that if we plumb (put pipes into) volcanic or thermal vents, we can collect thermal energy from the core of the earth. This can be used directly to heat things or to generate mechanical energy to create electricity.
What is geothermal potential energy?
It is the energy released from earth's surface. It can be used to generate electricity.
Is geothermal energy a natral recource?
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source, by using heat from the Earth to generate energy.
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
How do solar panels save the planet?
it uses energy from the sun wich helps the earth,
What kind of energy source transforms heat energy from the Earth into mechanical and electrical energy?
geothermal
Can you generate electricity from sun via satellite?
Many satellites have solar panels to generate electricity but it is not so simple to transmit that power back to Earth because the power density used might be harmful to life on Earth at the place where the beam arrives.
What is geothermal energy used to?
It is use to generate electricity from below earth's surface!!!!! Its an inexhaustible energy source that uses hot magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity.
Is Geothermal energy is used to generate electricity by harnessing?
Short answer: Heat Geothermal energy is heat from within the earth.
What kind of source transforms heat energy from the earth into mechanical and electrical energy?
geothermal
