Which three things determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth?
Three things that determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth are season, solar flares, and the presence of the ozone. Solar panel are a clean source of electricity
What are bad things about solar?
the bad thing about solar energy is that is thatfirstly the amount of energy we get from the sun is dilute even in the hot desert of world and secondly the technology we use for this energy is very expensive.
Bad things about solar energy?
Solar energy is not bad, however, the production of materials to produce free, clean energy has its negatives. For instance, it requires a great amount of fossil fuels and using rare materials to make the solar panels. Chromium and mercury are waste materials that cause disposal issues.
What are three things you need to create a star?
Gas (hydrogren), gravity, and nuclear fusion (elements literally fuse and form helium thus releasing a small amount of pure energy and photons)..However, one can make the argument that fusion is due to a spectacular amount of gravity.
What 2 things does the sun produce?
Heat and Energy

What are two things that stop solar energy from reaching the ground?
Clouds and small particles of pollution, including volcanic emissions reflect some solar energy and prevent it reaching the ground.Ice and snow reflect the sun's energy too.The ozone layer also reflects some ultra-violet radiation.
What two things do potential and kinetic energy need to gain more energy?
Well, basically, the higher an object is above the ground, the more potential energy it has. For kinetic energy, the amount of energy depends on the amount of force.
What brings thermal energy to the surface?
Thermal energy is the total amount of energy in a substance. A lot of the things could bring it to the "surface"
Do machines decrease the amount of energy that is needed to do work?
Not usually. They can convert effort into distance and things like that, but the overall energy is about the same.
What does Things are in the saddle and ride mean?
The things in the saddle are machines. This was quoted by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He believed that instead of people controlling technology, the machinery was controlling them.
What are bad things about solar?
the bad thing about solar energy is that is thatfirstly the amount of energy we get from the sun is dilute even in the hot desert of world and secondly the technology we use for this energy is very expensive.
Is there a difference between bossy and controlling?
No, bossy is more like telling people to do things, but controlling is acually making them do it, I think :P
How is energy distributed to living things in a ecosystem?
The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.

How are matter and energy related?
Matter and energy are two aspects of the same thing and are related according to Einstein's equation: E = mc2 where E = amount of Energy m = mass (amount of matter) c = the speed of light in vacuum
Why is heat a form energy?
That means that other forms of energy can be converted to heat, and - with some limitations - heat can be converted to other forms of energy. A certain amount of movement energy (for example) always converts to a certain amount of heat. So, it certainly looks as if there is "something" that the different things (for example, movement and heat) have in common. This "something" is now called "energy".
