nuclear power is going to be around for much longer, more fission reactors will be built to compensate in the increase in energy usage and more research is being done to make fusion energy which will replace fission reactors(this is quite a while yet before fusion reactors can be used to produce use usable energy for long periods of time).
What else can I help you with?
Where is the majority of the nuclear energy that lands on earth produced and what are three ways this energy is used once it reaches Earth's surface?
The majority of nuclear energy on Earth is produced in the core of the sun through nuclear fusion reactions. Once this energy reaches Earth's surface, it is used for electricity generation in nuclear power plants, medical applications such as cancer treatments using radiation therapy, and research purposes like nuclear physics experiments.
What type of nuclear energy is more important for life on earth?
The nuclear energy that is most important for life on Earth is the nuclear fusion that powers the sun. This energy is essential for providing heat and light, which support life on our planet. Nuclear fission, used in nuclear power plants, also plays a role in providing electricity for human activities.
How could you convert nuclear energy to geothermal energy?
You can't. Nuclear energy refers to energy released by splitting or combining the nuclei of atoms. Geothermal energy refers to energy that comes from heat in the earth (geo referring to the earth, and thermal meaning heat). Once you generate heat from either of those sources, the heat is going to be the same.
Why geothermal energy and nuclear energy different in respect?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's core. As we can't examine this directly, scientists are uncertain just what produces this energy. Some will come from radioactive decay, and some is the residue from when the Earth was formed as a lump of hot matter, from some unknown supernova. As far as we know there is no nuclear fission process going on in the core, though I don't see why this should be discounted. Nuclear energy as produced by man is definitely a process of nuclear fission, so this is the difference.
Where does all the energy in the Earth come from?
The energy on Earth comes from various sources, including the Sun, which provides solar energy through sunlight. Geothermal energy from the Earth's core also contributes to the energy available on Earth. Other sources include nuclear energy from radioactive decay and gravitational energy.
Why is nuclear fusion important to life on earth?
Life on Earth gets its energy from the Sun, which produces the energy through nuclear fusion.
Is earth an example of nuclear energy?
No. Earth is an example of many things, such as an uneven rock with water in its low places, but earth is not energy, least of all nuclear.
Do nuclear bombs take energy from the earth?
no
What is an energy that we do not get from the sun?
Nuclear energy (ie that produced on earth from uranium)
Earth's energy sources?
There are many of energy sources in earth like solar energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, tide energy, nuclear energy.
Is nuclear energy mined?
No, nuclear energy is not mined. Nuclear energy is produced by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission, which releases energy. The fuel used in nuclear reactors, such as uranium or plutonium, is mined from the earth.
Where is the majority of the nuclear energy that lands on earth produced and what are three ways this energy is used once it reaches Earth's surface?
The majority of nuclear energy on Earth is produced in the core of the sun through nuclear fusion reactions. Once this energy reaches Earth's surface, it is used for electricity generation in nuclear power plants, medical applications such as cancer treatments using radiation therapy, and research purposes like nuclear physics experiments.
How does nuclear fusion help the world?
We get most of our energy from the Sun; there, the energy is converted by nuclear fusion.On the other hand, technology is not yet ready to carry out nuclear fusion on our own, right here on Earth - except for some experiments.
How long is the suns nuclear energy expected to last?
Roughly 6 billion more years. Then the sun will expand and eat the earth.
What are some energy souroes?
Energy on Earth comes from the Sun, the wind, coal, the water, the Earth, and from nuclear power.
What is the renewable energy source of nuclear?
Nuclear energy is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of potential fuel on the earth. Once it is used, there will be no more.
Which of these sources of energy have not acquired energy from sun?
Geothermal energy and nuclear energy have not acquired their energy directly from the sun. Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, while nuclear energy is derived from nuclear reactions in elements like uranium.
