What kind of energy powers your light and appliances?
Usually - but not always - electricity powers our lights and appliances.
Does the suns light have anything to do with the northern lights?
Yes, most definetly. The higher sunspot activety on the sun, the more northern lights. The ions that gives energy to the gas molecules in the atmosphere, which again produce northern lights comes with the sun waves (radiation) from the sun. the next sunspot high OS expected to be in 2013, so this will be a excellent year to see northern lights.
Can you save money when shutting off the lights?
Turning off the lights does not actually save energy; energy not burned by the lights is simply run into the ground. It will save you $$, but not save energy. However, turning off the lights does send a market signal to electricity producers, informing them that current electricity production is too high (because it is being wasted) and decreasing future loads.Conserve energy? It completely stops the use of it. How much more can you conserve?update: Hopefully the person above is taking their own advice and not voting or reproducing :-) "It completely stops the use of [energy]?" No, it stops your use of it, but the energy company still burns it if you don't use it. Only when we stop using it on a large scale does the energy company not produce as much, and we then save. Turning off that light right now? Earth hour? Not saving the planet or any energy. Only if we do it ALL THE TIME.
Can leaving lights on when they are not in use be a cause of global warming?
Yes. Leaving lights turned on when not in use does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to global warming. A good rule of thumb is that household appliances consume electricity and therefore contribute to global warming in proportion to the amount of heat they produce. Incandescent light globes work by heating a wire filament until it glows white hot, so they are obviously very heavy users of electricity. However, there are other things we can do other than just turning off lights all the time. Replacing these by modern high-efficiency, low energy lights uses a fraction of the electricity and therefore contributes only a fraction of the carbon emissions that lead to global warming. With high-efficiency, low energy lights we need be less concerned about leaving lights on for a few minutes, and get on with enjoying life.
What do house do to celebrate Eatrh day?
most people on Earth day turn off all their electronics and lights to confirm energy i would unplug TVs and any thing else that stays plugged in.
In polar regions ions radiate radiate energy as shimmering lights called?
Aurora borealis; the Northern Lights.
When was Shimmering Lights created?
Shimmering Lights was created on 2010-09-21.
What form of energy in energy of house lights?
House lights radiate energy as electromagnetic waves in the wavelength bands of heat and visible light.
Can you give a sentence with the adjective shimmering?
The shimmering lights danced on the water's surface.
What is the medium for ultraviolet lights?
Light, whatever the wavelength, does not need a medium in order to radiate.
What are the Southern Lights?
The Southern Lights (Aurora Austrialis) are a sky phenomena, multi-colored shimmering lights, associated with the acceleration of charged particles above the South Magnetic Pole. (see the related question)
In which layer of the atmosphere do the Auroras occur?
In the upper mesosphere and the lower thermosphere, gas particles become electrically charged. Because these charged particles are called ions, this part of the thermosphere is called the ionosphere. In polar regions these ions radiate energy as shimmering lights called auroras, usually in latitudes above 50 degrees. The Aurora Borealis and its southern counterpart the Aurora Australis are formed high in the atmosphere in the ionosphere, which is sometimes considered as part of the thermosphere, the outermost actual atmosphere. Above this layer, the exosphere has so few molecules that they can escape into space. For more information visit the question "What causes the Aurora Borealis?"
What is the energy that is stored in lights?
Energy is not stored in lights (not electric ones at least). Energy is used by lights.
How do Motion Sensing Lights Work?
Motion sensing lights use a passive system that detects infrared energy. These sensors are known as PIR (passive infrared) detectors or pyroelectric sensors. Human skin averages to be 93 degrees F, which radiates infrared energy in a wavelength that is between 9 and 10 micrometers. The sensors dectect quick movement of objects that radiate between 8 to 12 micrometers of infrared energy.
Dashboard lights on a peugeot 206 what do they mean?
They mean different thing to different people, to me they are little stars shimmering in the dash to others they are warnings from the car
How does it save energy to turn off lights?
Lights use energy. Turning them off saves energy.
Where do brake lights draw their energy from?
Brake lights draw their energy from the vehicle's battery.
