What else can I help you with?
What planet receives the most energy from the sun?
Mars is the closest planet to the sun, and receives the most energy.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
Where is Mars location in the solar system?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the solar system.
Does mars have any stars?
No, Mars is a planet in our solar system, and like all planets, it does not produce its own light or have any stars. Stars are massive balls of gas that emit light and energy through nuclear fusion. Mars receives light from the Sun, which is a star located at the center of our solar system.
Is mars the largest second largest or smallest planet in our solar system?
None of these. Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system.
How do you use geothermal solar on mars?
Geothermal energy and Solar energy are two different things. Geothermal energy is thermal energy from the core of the planet while Solar energy is the radiation energy from the Sun. I believe the question would imply Solar Thermal utilization on Mars. On Mars, Solar energy is a lot lesser than earth. The radiation on Earth is at 1400 W/m2 while on Mars is only 600 W/m2. Solar energy can be harvest using Solar cell at 40% of what we would harvest on earth. In the case of Solar Thermal, Despite lowered black body temperature, Green house gases is absented on Mars and the surface temperature is a lot colder than earth. A solar thermal plant could effectively harvest at 60% efficiency as it is on earth. The very difference on Mars Solar Thermal and Earth version would be that Mars had little water, it could not use cooling tower in the same manner as on earth. The Heat rejection onto atmosphere would require large radiator in place of cooling tower. Reflects is necessary to enhance thermal efficiency since the solar density is lowered there.
What is the best way of producing energy on mars?
Solar power would be the best way to generate energy for use on Mars.
What energy source could you use on mars?
geothermal, solar
Why does the Mars rover have solar panels?
As the Mars rover would be on the planet for a long time it would have to use solar energy alone to move around.
What kind of energy source do you need to sustain life on Mars?
Solar, and possibly wind, but OF COURSE SoLaR
If you were living in Mars how will you generate energy?
You can harvest energy from solar cell, the wind energy is plausible but likely not very effective since the air is very thin on Mars.
What solar system is Mars in?
Mars is in our solar system.
Is Mars beyond our solar system?
No. Mars is the fourth planet of our solar system.
Is Mars part of the solar system?
Yes, Mars is part of our solar system.
What types of energy are possible on Mars?
Mars has solar energy arriving from the Sun at about 500 watts/sq. metre (at a theoretical Martian surface, perpendicular to the Sun's rays.) Wind energy is also available but as the atmosphere has a low pressure not much energy is available that way. Also, chemical energy could be extracted from materials on Mars.
Why would solar panels generate less electrical energy on mars than earth?
Mars is always further away from the sun than the earth is. Therefore, the light that reaches the surface on mars is much weaker than on earth, so solar panels are not quite as effective.
What does mars have that is the biggest in our solar system?
Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons.
