The sun generates energy through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium in its core, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy travels through space and reaches Earth, providing warmth and driving vital processes like photosynthesis in plants. Approximately 173,000 terawatts of solar energy continuously strike the Earth, making it a crucial source of renewable energy for all life forms.
What else can I help you with?
How does the sun produce so much heat and light energy?
The sun is a big fire ball made up with hot flaming gas.
Is solar energy nonrenewble?
Solar energy is renewable. No matter how much sunlight we use, the sun continues to shine, and it is expected to do so for billions of years in the future.
Why does Earth get more energy from the sun than from all the other stars in the universe combined?
The other stars are so distant that most energy is lost to space. Radiated energy uses the "inverse square" law- 2 x as far= 1/4 as much, 4 times as far = 1/16th as much, etc. 10 times as far=1/100th as much. The other stars are MILLIONS of times further away than the sun.
How does the sun prodace trmendous energy it releases every second?
The sun produces tremendous energy through the process of nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This continuous fusion reaction is sustained by the sun's immense gravitational pressure.
Which planet will shine without sun?
Jupiter, in a way, could do that. Jupiter does give out its own "light", but it's infra red light, so you can't see it. Jupiter gives out more energy than it gets from the Sun. Incidentally, Saturn and Neptune also do this to some extent.
Why does the sun give off so much energy?
Because, it is booming hot.
What produce the sun?
the sun produces light ,heat ,energy,and so much more
How do you know so much about the sun?
Astronauts study the sun, and give back information to the people that give information.
What can energy do give you two examples?
energy can be really helpful specially in the dark and one help is the sun, the sun give us the light we need during the day and the heat of the energy helps us cook food so we wouldn't die.
How does the sun give energy indirectly?
Sun provides heat and light which is used by organisms having chlorophyll to synthesis glucose .We it plants as vegetables or animals which have eaten these plants so .....indirectly sun is giving you energy
What element supports all animal life?
The sun. The sun gives energy to the plants, the plants give that energy to herbivores when they are eaten, the herbivores are then eaten by the carnivores and so the cycle continues.
Can organisms survive without energy from the sun?
not really cause plants grown from the sun and water but mostly the sun and the sun helps the plants grown so then the plants give energy to animals so the animals will live so no organisms can not survive without energy from the sun
How is the sun's energy solar energy?
the suns energy is solar energy because sun means solar so solar energy is from the sun
Why are water wind and the sun good sources of energy?
It is a good source because there is so much of it.
Why does the sun give off so many energy?
It gets the energy from nuclear fusion. It is able to carry out this nuclear fusion because of its mass, which pulls the Sun together, and keeps its core hot and dense.
What do the seasons have to do with the earth?
It is because the sun is on the other side of the earth so it does not give of to much so there for you got winter but when the sun gets closer it gets warmer.
How does the sun produce so much heat and light energy?
The sun is a big fire ball made up with hot flaming gas.
