The only thing similar is each produces energy. The coal is the dirtiest form while solar is the cleanest.
Solar energy is a non-example of coal. Solar energy is generated from sunlight through solar panels, whereas coal is a fossil fuel that is mined from the earth.
Coal and solar energy are alike because they both are having to do with energy and they are both formed ny the sun or have sun in them. Although, solar energy is renewable and coal is non-renewable they both have some similarities.
The sun?
Coal is derived from plant material which was produced by solar energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is roughly H20 + CO2 + solar energy = Ch20 + O2, which converts CO2 and water to oxygen and plant material as the plant grows.
it provides energy without burning coal.
Coal, wind, hydroelectricity, and solar. Coal is most used.
Most forms of solar energy rely on daylight, so solar energy can't be used during night, coal fired power stations can be used day and night.Coal power at it's simplest (coal fires) can be used for heating rooms and houses.
When coal is burned, the energy released comes originally from the sun because coal is formed from organic matter such as dead plants and trees that captured solar energy through photosynthesis. This stored solar energy in the form of carbon is released when coal is burned, making it a fossil fuel.
Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
Yes, the energy in coal can be traced back to the sun. Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that photosynthesized and captured sunlight millions of years ago. Over time, these organic materials were buried, subjected to heat and pressure, and transformed into coal, storing the solar energy initially captured by those plants. Thus, the energy contained in coal is ultimately derived from solar energy.
Coal is a NON-renewable energy as when burnt, the Coal combusts, emitting carbon dioxide, among other harmful products. A renewable energy would be wind or tidal or solar energy for example.
If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
