What energy does the sun have?
mechanical, potential, kinetic, nuclear and thermal
Is the sun potential or kinetic energy?
Solar energy is defined as radiant energy. Radiant energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. There are differences in opinion on whether radiant energy is potential or kinetic energy.
Does the moon have heat energy?
They move (they have speed), and they have mass - so yes. Just use the standard formula for kinetic energy to find out how much. The formula is: KE = (1/2) x mass x (speed squared).
What kind of energy does the sun give off?
Sunlight contains a few different beams on the electromagnetic spectrum. The most noticeable is visible light. Since the light is white, it contains all of the colors on the visible light spectrum (from red to violet, 700nm-400nm). There is also ultraviolet rays (400 nm to 10 nm) which is invisible to the human eye but in certain doses will cause skin cancer. Since the sun emits heat that warms the earth, sunlight also emits infrared radiation (750 nm to 1 mm).
What energy source don't come from the sun?
Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.
Does the sun have kinetic or potential energy?
potential energy i think
As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.

What type of energy is possessed by a planet revolving around sun?
It is a combination of kinetic energy, and potential energy. Kinetic energy is related to the planet's movement; and the farther away a planet is from the Sun, the greater its potential energy.
Is sun a potential energy or kinetic energy?
No, Sun light rays are neither of these things. The light of the Sun is electromagnetic energy.
What energy does the sun have?
mechanical, potential, kinetic, nuclear and thermal
Is hydroeletric energy kinetic or potential?
Potential energy (turned into kinetic energy to drive the turbines), (turned into electrical energy by the turbines). Note the original source of this energy is the Sun (nuclear fusion).
Is a Sun light rays kinetic or potential energy?
No, Sun light rays are neither of these things. The light of the Sun is electromagnetic energy.
Where does the kinetic chemical electrical and heat energy comes from?
heat is from the sun and kinetic is transformed from potential energy and chemical energy is from weathering of nature in the crust
What process do plants use to convert kinetic energy from the sun into the potential energy of sugar?
photosynthesis

Solar energy is defined as radiant energy. Radiant energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. There are differences in opinion on whether radiant energy is potential or kinetic energy.
What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?
1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.
How does the sea gain kinetic energy?
there is tide formation in sea sdue to gravitational pull of sun and moon and thus potential energy which on falling gets converted to kinetic energy
