You can run on solar energy because the sun helps plants make their food and give humans O2. You eat the plant (like a carrot or cabbage) and breath O2 to live. You need solar energy to start your day with O2 and veggies.
Yes, we do run on solar energy. It is possible we run on solar energy because when you eat food like a slice of bread or a baked potato, you consume the energy stored by the plant.

Why did Oliver headley invent solar energy?
Dr. Oliver Headley did not "invent solar energy". He realized ... and reminded others ... that "The sun will still shine when the oil runs out.", and he worked to develop methods of USING some of the free solar energy that pours down on all of us every day of our lives.
The energy in springs and rubber bands is?
Potential Energy - Stored Energy or the potential to do work Kinetic energy is energy of motion, as you in a car. If the car runs into a tree, the kinetic ehergy in your body throws you into the windshield. And it hurts.
An energy source that won't ever run out is called?
An energy source that never runs out would be called: Impossible. There is no such thing as an energy source that will never run out otherwise it would break the Laws of Thermodynamics and we would all be in big trouble. Renewable energy sources are based on things like wind power, solar power which we expect will last longer than the human species.
Wind and water energy are both indirect forms of what kind of energy?
solar energy Try kinetic energy - moving force In direct terms, wind and water both provide kinetic energy which can be converted into electricity. However, wind and water have that kinetic energy because of warmth that the sun provides (causing air to expand creating areas of high and low pressure - wind; by evaporating water, forming clouds which then redistribute the water as rain and snow which eventually runs off as a river). Thus, wind and water are both INDIRECT forms of solar energy
What is potential energy converted into as water runs over a waterfall?
Kinetic energy
Is there an air conditioner that runs on solar energy?
There are no air conditioner's here currently available that run only on solar energy.
Is the sun's energy solar energy?
The sun gives off solar energy, but the sun runs on chemical/nuclear reactions, fusion, converting hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
When people started to use the solar energy?
Solar energy has been in continual use since the earliest days of our planet. Anything that grows runs on solar energy. The earliest men understood that the sunlight was necessary for things to grow, and later, to help dry food for preservation. That's "solar energy".
Why does driving a car use solar energy?
It could be argued that the gasoline it runs on was obtained from oil. This is the remains of ancient plants and organisms dependent on solar energy to grow.
How is hydroelectric power an indirect form of solar energy?
Because solar energy runs the water cycle, giving rise to precipitation, and then the rain water flows into the reservoirs of dams.
What word describes an energy like wind or solar that never runs out?
Renewable, or inexhaustible.
Why is solar energy considered reneweable?
solar energy will never run out because, the sun never runs out of energy.
Is solar energy beneficial to us in the future?
Solar energy will always be useful to us because it is a renewable resource. That means that it never runs out, and is being replenished even as it is used. i hope that's helpful :)
What does the body use for energy when you have no carb intake?
When there is no carbohydrate intake the body runs on fats

Why don't solar cells eventually run down as electrochemical cells do?
In the case of electrochemical cells, the energy is coming from the reactions inside the cell- the chemicals inside have some stored energy, and as the cell is used, that energy is used up and they are converted into different chemicals with less energy, until the cell runs out.Solar cells get their energy from the sun- sunlight has energy, and what the solar cell does is convert that light energy into electrical energy. So it doesn't use any energy of its own (it does lose electrons, but more electrons come in from the circuit so it never runs out). So as long as a solar cell is exposed to light, it won't run down.In the long term, the sunlight will start to degrade the solar cell so it will eventually stop working, but not because it runs out of energy.
What makes a solar car solar?
It has these plates that absorb the thermal energy that radiats off the sun, then the car turns that energy into some type of fuel to run off of. They use the UV radiation from the sun to create electric power. These are very light and dangerous cars that are only used for experimental purposes or as toys. They are not useful for day to day transportation. No car company currently makes a useful auto that runs on solar and the energy available will probably keep this from being a possible situation.
