Most cars run on gasoline or diesel, both of which come from petroleum oil. This oil comes from organisms, mostly algae, that died millions of years ago and were buried. The chemical energy that is released when we burn petroleum products was originally sunlight that was captured by plants via photosynthesis and stored as chemical energy in carbohydrates.
What else can I help you with?
Do hybrid cars run on the sun?
Hybrid cars do not run on the power of the sun. Hybrid cars use a battery and gas to run.
Why is the sun responsible for making a car operational?
The sun is not responsible for making a car operational. A car operates using fuel, typically gasoline or electricity, to power its engine and move. The sun may indirectly help power some cars through solar panels that generate electricity, but it is not the primary source of a car's operational abilities.
Which source will allow solar powered cars to run?
The sun
Why is the sun responsible for a car operational?
It was either that sunlight grew the plants long ago that became the fossil fuels for cars, or that the heat from the sun creates energy to power the cars.
What is one problem with fuel cell cars?
one problem with fuel cell cars is that if they run on solar energy then if theres no sun that day it won't have the power to reverse it into energy and run the car with the sun energy needed!
What is the differences between solar and petrol cars?
Solar cars run on power from the sun. I don't believe any are in standard production yet.
What are solar cars?
Solar powered cars are cars that are powered by the sun. when the sun is not out the car will not start, when the sun is out, it will start!
What is responsible for making plants green?
Photosynthasis. It is when the sun and water give a plant the nutrients it needs.
Can sun-powered cars run when it isn't sunny?
It charges and stores energy when it is sunny and uses that energy when it is not sunny.
What is a solar powered cars?
Solar Powered Cars traditional are defined as cars which run on energy from the sun. They got their first recognition as a possible transportation method through the series of annual races across Australia.
Which layer of the sun is responsible for making light?
The layer of the Sun responsible for producing light is the photosphere. It is the visible surface of the Sun and emits the light we see from Earth. The energy generated in the core through nuclear fusion eventually reaches the photosphere, where it is released as sunlight.
What is a cars energy source?
Ultimately the Sun. Cars run on fossil fuels which is made from the remains of organism that lived and grew on the planet in the past. These living organisms depended on sunlight as the source of their energy.
