Best Answer

Alpha decay is the loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons

Beta-decay is the loss of a positron or electron

Gamma decay is the loss of a photon

The equation relates this loss to energy produced E=mc^2

How is solar energy produced and how can you cover it?

well solar energy is produced by sun and geothermal energy 2. Solar energy is produced by the Sun. All the fossil fuels are versions of stored ancient sunlight.
