Solar energy = Fusion
Nuclear energy = Fission
Fission aka Nuclear energy is the breaking apart of bonds in elements to release energy. Nuclear power plants use this concept in their nuclear reactors. Without properly controlling the energy via steam and control rods, a power plant can potentially explode releasing radiation that can last for years. The upsides to this power is zero emissions.
Fusion, solar energy, is a process in which two elements fuse to form a new element which creates energy. EX. two hydrogen fuse to form helium. The sun's intense heat allows this fusion of elements to occur. Currently it is impossible to create fusion power plants due to the environment required but if possible, it would be the cleanest, safest, most efficient form of energy available.
they arn't the same type of energy
The difference between solar energy and wind energy is that solar energy comes from the sun and is in the form of waves. However they are both renewable energy resources.
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun
what is a better source nuclear or solar energy.
They seem independent to me - except that solar energy arises from nuclear fusion in the sun
solar energy uses the sun and biomass uses waste to make energy
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
The main difference between the solar cell and detector is that the cell stores the energy, while the detector directs the energy towards the cell.
solar e. = from sunlight light energy = from any, even artificial light
Nuclear Energy is able to produce a constant ammount of energy at all times where as solar energy does not.
C. Geothermal and solar energy are both renewable, while nuclear energy is noy...
No, not all energy is nuclear. There are many types of energy, such as solar and kinetic.
