Nuclear Energy is able to produce a constant ammount of energy at all times where as solar energy does not.
Solar energy is certainly safer than nuclear energy, but decidedly more expensive with much greater space requirements...at this time. As solar and other alternative energy sources are developed, it is reasonable to assume that the costs will decrease. Whether or not they will ever decrease to the costs per kilowatt hour that nuclear energy can achieve remains to be seen.

The reason nuclear energy is most efficient today is, because with little it can create a hundred times more. For instance, Japan's entire economy is constructed on nuclear energy. Even if they have suffered, because of some inconveniences, before that they use to be the leading economical giant. In general nuclear energy is the most efficient resource on the planet, right now.
Mechanical energy, solar energy, electrical energy. There are many more.
The two can't be compared. If you use solar energy, you'll also be using electricity - the electricity from the solar panels (unless you are talking about the other type of solar panel: the one used to directly heat water).
depends on how you look at it solar energy is more highly developed but hydro electric is more efficient when it is used
Ways you can produce electric energy: Solar Panels Wind Turbines Nuclear Fission Microwave Pure Solar (uses mirrors focused on a water tower) Geothermal Tidal Energy Wave Energy Hydroelectric (Uses dams) Biofuels (Algae) And many more ways are being created and studied including the much more efficient Nuclear Fusion.
due to the lack of atmosphere blocking the solar rays.
Solar panels are becoming cheaper and more efficient.
Solar lighting is more energy efficient because it uses the light from the sun to power itself rather than use the energy from an outlet in your home to gather enough energy to create an illuminating light source
because it is more energy efficient and is better for the planet. by Breanna (12YRS) Summer (12YRS)
renewable energy, for example solar energy, hydroelectric energy and Wind Energy.
