What get hotter in the sun a black cup with water or a white cup?
The black cup gets hotter. White reflects solar energy, black absorbs it.
Which has the lowest albedo a white sheet of paper a mirror the surface of a body of water or a black sheet of paper?
a black sheet of paper
What makes a needle to float in water?
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
What is a gas that traps solar energy?
A gas that traps solar energy is called a greenhouse gas. The main ones are water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. They trap the infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
How does fabric heat water?
One manner to achieve this would be conduction of solar energy that was radiated onto it. An example would be a black canvas bag full of water heating in the sun.
Why pipe of solar heater and container of solar cookers are painted black?
We see objects as black because they do not reflect any of the wavelengths of light that shine on them. A matte surface is matte precisely because it isn't shiny - in other words, because it doesn't reflect the light very well. Matte black is least prone to reflect energy and best at absorbing it. In the case of hot water panels, it is the solar energy that is absorbed that heats the water so the more efficient the panels are at absorbing it, the better it does at heating up the water.
What has liquid water on its surface?
Earth is the only one in our solar system.
Solar energy hits the surface of a lake this is likely to cause water near the the surface to undergo?
Evaporation
What energy resources are found above the earths surface?
Solar, wind, water
Water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back to Earth's surface again in a process known as the water cycle. Which of the following is the major form of energy driving the water cycle?
Solar energy
If there's a solar blanket on the pool water surface during a heavy rain will the solar blanket sink under the surface or will it keep floating?
It will keep floating. Some of the water will remain on the top of the cover, but most will run off the side and enter the pool.
What is the difference between the inner and distant solar system?
In the inner solar system, the planets are rocky and it is possible to have water as a vapor or a liquid on the surface. In the outer solar system the planets are gas giants and water can only exist as ice.
Copper pipe used in solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of coil give reason-?
The copper pipe in the solar water is wrapped in the shape of a coil to give it maximum surface area.
What planet is covered with water and land?
In our solar system, Earth is the only planet with any significant amounts of surface water (and land).
Which two types of surface on earth are most important absorbing solar energy and keepig the planet warm?
One surface type on Earth that helps absorb solar energy and keeps the planet warm is water. Another surface type that helps keep the planet warm by absorbing solar energy is vegetated land.
What are the uses of solar energy?
solar energy can used in many ways. we can use this energy by putting solar pannels in our houses and we can generate this energy like we have heard of things like solar gyzer , solar cooker , solar lights etc. if we use solar energy in this way then we can also preserve our natural resources.some uses for solar energy would be telling time with sun dial, cooking, pumping water, purifying water, heating water (pools), and to heat airhttp:/webzperiodznet/sunwind/solar/solar_energy_useszperiodzhtmlSolar Enery is used mostly in places where there is a lot of sunlight. It is used in power plants in warm sunny climates, and on houses in around the same places. They are solar paneled houses which can be anywhere. Basically, solar energy can be found anywhere there is sunlight. It will work better with more sunlight though.
Copper pipe used in solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of coil give reason?
The copper wire used in the solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of the coil to increase its surface area.
