What else can I help you with?
The sun produces big explosions of energy called?
They are called solar prominences.
What are some ideas on making a solar energy project?
well depends on how big the project is you could build solar panels on a roof or something or you could just make a solar powered ipod or fan
Is the solar-system the biggest?
a solar system is quite big but if u look at the big picture u see that there are many bigger things some stars, nebulas, galaxies, black holes, and of course the universe
What does the energy that powers photosynthesis come from?
Solar....... The sun.......that big yellow thing.
How do you change chemical energy into solar energy?
You can't. "Solar energy" is also a wrongful term . . . the energy that comes from Sol, our sun, is the energy derived from nuclear fusion in Sol, our sun. In fact, it is this tremendous energy that keeps the sun big and ball-shaped.
How solar energy is the ultimate source of energy?
Cosmologists are well agreed that the power in the Universe was released in the form of the Big Bang, an event which created all of both the material and the energy which are in our Universe. According to recent measurements, the Big Bang occurred 13.75 billion years ago, so that is the current age of our Universe. Since everything in our Universe, both material and energy, was created by the Big Bang, the energy of all of the stars in our Universe originated in the Big Bang or grew from matter created and dispersed in the Big Bang. Each star is the energy source for that star's system. Thus, the sun, our Sun, is the energy source for our solar system. The solar radiation which comes to earth from our Sun is the source of all of our energy. The changing heating from the Sun creates wind. Solar radiation is converted to other forms by plants and microorganisms. Gravity from the Sun and Moon create the tides. A form of energy on earth which is not Sun related is the radioactive elements in the earth, but these are Big Bang related and related to other suns where these chemicals, such as radium and uranium, were formed. The kinetic and gravitational energy of the bodies in our solar system is Big Bang related. The inhabitants of earth are really only aware of energy in our solar system, in fact, mostly only energy which reaches our planet, so for us, the ultimate source of energy is our Sun. In the past, most of our energy needs have come from burning living or once living things created from sunlight, but our future will experience more energy from radioactive elements and quite possibly from the fusion of deuterium into helium.
Quantity of solar energy received by earth?
The solar flux is 120,000 terrawatts. Multiply that by the number of seconds in a year to get the total number of joules of energy hitting the Earth each year. It's a big number. A very very big number!
What are the disadvantages of using this solar energy?
You only get energy while the sun is shining. You get fairly little energy for each unit of surface area, so to get useful amounts you need big collectors. If you want to get electricity from the sun, the solar cells are quite expensive.
Why is solar energy good to fossil fuels?
because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
Is solar power an alternative or a conventional energy source?
yes of course solar energy is a GREAT source of energy Most of us have some big and some small things all around us, and things that they can do to better the cost efficiency of home. Whether you just want to drop a few dollars off of your gas bill or you are looking for a better way to fuel your home altogether, doing just a few things can make a tremendous amount of difference in your home. if you would like to know more about this please visit here http://bit.ly/WRZdxB
What does solar energy look like?
Solar energy is invisible to the naked eye because it is a form of electromagnetic radiation. However, we can harness solar energy using solar panels, which appear as large flat panels usually mounted on rooftops or in open fields to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
What are apparent environmental impacts associated with solar energy?
Solar power does not affect the environment, contrary to other power systems. So by not affecting the environment it improves it, because all other alternatives have certain types of impact (green or not). After solar, wind power is probably the one with the least impact. Smaller hydroelectric can be made to have low impact but big projects usually have some sort of impact.
