They both provide power for the world.
Fossil fuels won't last for ever. We must research alternative power sources: of which solar power is just one possibility.
One of the key advantages of solar power is that the source will be there for the foreseeable future. The sun is the most consistent power supply in the sky and unlike fossil fuels is renewable.
Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable as they are the product of living things that died in the distant past.
solar energy provides a heat source for all living things on earth. we also transfer solar heat into electricity and other types of energy, using solar panels. however, only a portion of the suns energy makes it to earths surface because the ionosphere reflects some of the rays back into space. only half of the incoming ratiation from the sun makes it to the earths surface.
Fossil fuels are an indirect form of solar energy because solar energy was used to sustain the plant life,through photosynthesis, that is now now part of the fossil fuels.
Solar and wind energy don't expel CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels do. Also wind and solar energy are renewable energies. Fossil fuels will eventually run out.
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
fossil fuels
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the sun lasts.
Ummm.....
The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.
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.
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
They have been the most efficient energy source available
1- No direct output of polluting emissions ( though the production of solar panels emits CO2 and is costly and materials' intensive) 2- almost zero running cost ( free energy), yet expensive to manufacture, and occupies huge amounts of land and is not efficient. 3- Renewable and that is it: the advantages of fossil fuels over solar energy outweigh the adv. of solar over fossil fuels. for instance, 1- fossil fuels are abundant, cheap, reliable, have been integrated to our energy consumption systems for decades 2- they are mobile 3- very high energy density, each kg of fossil fuels can generate millions of KJ
No it isn't a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels include coal and oil.
