Solar energy, direct from the sun, warms the earth. This is good, because the earth is thus warm enough for life.
In the past, before we started adding amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, there was an energy balance. Enough warmth came in, and enough escaped back out to space, to keep the temperature stable. Now, by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), we are stopping some of this heat escaping to space, and the earth is warming.
Solar energy, captured on rooftops, and turned into electricity, is good for the environment and it slows global warming, because the electricity is clean, with no carbon dioxide emissions. Any electricity generated by PV panels means that less has to be generated by burning coal and oil.
What else can I help you with?
How is solar energy cheap?
Solar energy is cheap compared to the high costs of fossil fuels and the toll they take on the environment. Solar energy is cheap in the long run. Very cheap, like in NJ after 5 years.....FRee kind of cheap!
Do you need to conserve solar energy?
Yes, it is important to conserve solar energy because it is a renewable resource that is not limitless. By using energy-efficient technologies and practices, we can maximize the benefits of solar energy and reduce our overall energy consumption. Conservation also helps to protect the environment by reducing the need for fossil fuels.
What affects if any do solar ovens have on the environment?
Solar ovens have a positive impact on the environment as they reduce the need for traditional cooking methods that rely on fossil fuels. By using solar energy to cook food, solar ovens help decrease carbon emissions and dependency on nonrenewable energy sources. Additionally, solar ovens help minimize deforestation, as they reduce the demand for firewood used in traditional cooking methods.
How can solar power affect the future?
Solar power can positively affect the future by providing a clean and renewable source of energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. It can also create new job opportunities and promote energy independence for countries that invest in solar technology. Additionally, as technology advances and costs decrease, solar power has the potential to become more accessible and widespread.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
Some common questions about solar energy include: How does solar energy work? What are the benefits of using solar energy? What types of solar panels are available? How much does it cost to install solar panels?
Is there a way to obtain solar energy that may not damaging the environment?
I think that solar energy obtained through solar panel doesn't harm the environment.
Can solar energy affect our seasons?
Yes solar energy is the CAUSE of our seasons.
How energy effects the environment?
i the solar
How does energy from the sun affect the earth?
solar energy
How do trees affect solar energy?
Trees use solar energy for photosynthesis, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and using the carbon to grow. They don't affect solar energy in any way.
How solar energy affect in our athmosphere?
Solar energy provides heat. It makes the atmosphere warm.
What negative effect's can solar energy have on the environment and how?
none
How can solar energy help the polar bears?
Because your not using gas or other that hurt the environment and use those bad things cause globe warming, but solar energy is the energy that you get in the environment
Does temperature affect collecting solar energy?
No it doesnt
What does solar energy do for humans?
warms our bodies and save our environment
How would the loss of solar energy affect every day activity?
it doesn't because solar energy is a renewable resource
How does Tidal Energy affect the environment?
It doesnt have any affects on the environment
