What is a better source nuclear or solar energy?
what is a better source nuclear or solar energy.
What energy transformation happens when using solar panels?
Nuclear through solar
What is the main source of solar energy?
Nuclear fission is main source of solar energy,
Is solar power or nuclear power better?
The 'power' that comes from a both nuclear and solar is the same - it's electricity. Nuclear power is quite clean while it is being produced (assuming nothing goes wrong with the plant), however getting rid of the harmful nuclear waste after it's use is an extremely difficult pollution problem. Solar power is 100% clean, and no harmful waste is caused after it's useful life. If you were to power a house with solar electricity, it can either be done by suplimenting the electricity needs at night with other green electicity (such as from a green energy supplier), or the electricity from the solar panels can be stored in solar batteries then power will be available day and night. Looking at the very short term problem, nuclear produces a lot of power and is clean (apart from after it's use). Looking at long term, and the need to reduce pollution and nuclear waste then more solar power is better. Nuclear and solar should work together - If more houses/buildings were powered by solar (and other green electicity) then it would mean reducing the need for quite as many nuclear power stations.
Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?
Nuclear Energy is able to produce a constant ammount of energy at all times where as solar energy does not.
Why isn't nuclear waste have its radiation used for solar power?
Because nuclear waste doesn't give off the same radiation as the sun.
What is a better source nuclear or solar energy?
what is a better source nuclear or solar energy.
Can nuclear energy convert into solar energy?
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
How nuclear energy is green in comparison with Solar?
solar is betr
What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of 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
Solar energy is produced by?
Nuclear fusion in sun. Solar Cells on Earth.
What energy transformation happens when using solar panels?
Nuclear through solar
Is nuclear waste a problem with solar energy?
No, it is not.
What are the risks associated with the production of this energy source?
The promoters of solar energy cleverly lead you to believe that it is perfectly safe. Yet they conveniently neglect to mention that solar energy is generated by nuclear fusion within the sun. This process operates on the very same basic laws of nuclear physics used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs!
