What is the orientation of a building?

Orientation of the building generally used to refer to solar orientation which is the siting of building with respect to solar access. Although any building will have different orientations for its different sides, the orientation can refer to a particular room, or to the most important facade of the building. The building orientation can have an impact on heating, lighting and cooling costs. By maximizing southern exposure, for example, one can take optimal advantage of the sun for daylight and passive solar heating. This will result in lower cooling costs by minimizing western exposures, where it's most difficult to provide shade from the sun.


How is your solar system different from others?

There are about 408 multiple-planet solar systems in our galaxy. The orientation of these solar systems are on a flat plane due to lacking giant planets, where as ours is tilted off the solar system's plane because of Jupiter's gravitational influence..

What is the orientation for maximum passive solar heat for a home?

If you are north of the equator, south. If you are south of the equator, then north. It would be advisable to use an ative solar thermal system, as it will be much faster and more efficient at collecting the heat from the solar panels as the heat transfer fluid is pumped. Passive solar is solar thermal without a pump and relies on gravity alone. The angle of the solar panels from the ground will depend on where you live.


How much electricity does a solar panel produce in a day?

That's impossible to answer. It depends on: - The size of the solar panel - The type and even brand of solar panel - Location - Orientation - Time of year - Weather


How does solar system influence the orientation in roaming and migratory animals?

It's ultimately responsible for both of those activities, in the most fundamental sense. If there were no solar system, there would be no places for the animals to roam from or migrate to, and no frame for them to reference in order to orient themselves.


Why is orientation needed in the focusing type solar collectors?

To focus the radiation onto the target, the best result is when the lens is at 90° to the sun. To do this the collector needs to tilt and swivel to face the sun.
