Can nuclear energy convert into solar energy?

Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun


What is the main source of solar energy?

Nuclear fission is main source of solar energy,


What is the relationship of solar energy to nuclear energy?

They seem independent to me - except that solar energy arises from nuclear fusion in the sun


Where is fission commonly seen?

Our sun. The source of solar energy is due to nuclear fission.


What type of energy makes solar energy?

Nuclear fusion energy


What is better solar energy fission reactor or fusion reactor?

solar is a billion times better.


What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?

Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.


Is the energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy?

The energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy is true. Nuclear fusion is mass that is converted to energy and nuclei combinations.


What is the difference between solar energy and nuclear energy?

Solar energy = Fusion Nuclear energy = Fission Fission aka Nuclear energy is the breaking apart of bonds in elements to release energy. Nuclear power plants use this concept in their nuclear reactors. Without properly controlling the energy via steam and control rods, a power plant can potentially explode releasing radiation that can last for years. The upsides to this power is zero emissions. Fusion, solar energy, is a process in which two elements fuse to form a new element which creates energy. EX. two hydrogen fuse to form helium. The sun's intense heat allows this fusion of elements to occur. Currently it is impossible to create fusion power plants due to the environment required but if possible, it would be the cleanest, safest, most efficient form of energy available.


Solar energy is produced by?

Nuclear fusion in sun. Solar Cells on Earth.


Is solar the same as nuclear?

Solar power is derived from nuclear fusion in the sun. It is nothing to do with nuclear energy as produced on earth


Is the sun's energy a result of nuclear fission reactions?

The solar energy of the sun is actually from a nuclear reaction, hydrogen is fused into helium liberating a HUGE amount of energy, so YES, the sun's energy is ATOMIC energy, AND the primary source of all the energy we use on Earth today, from oil to hydroelectric, to atomic and geothermal, the Sun is the real source of all these forms of power.
