Solar energy = Fusion
Nuclear energy = Fission
Fission aka Nuclear energy is the breaking apart of bonds in elements to release energy. Nuclear power plants use this concept in their nuclear reactors. Without properly controlling the energy via steam and control rods, a power plant can potentially explode releasing radiation that can last for years. The upsides to this power is zero emissions.
Fusion, solar energy, is a process in which two elements fuse to form a new element which creates energy. EX. two hydrogen fuse to form helium. The sun's intense heat allows this fusion of elements to occur. Currently it is impossible to create fusion power plants due to the environment required but if possible, it would be the cleanest, safest, most efficient form of energy available.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of energy
Can nuclear energy convert into solar energy?
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun
What the difference between the solar cell and detector?
The main difference between the solar cell and detector is that the cell stores the energy, while the detector directs the energy towards the cell.
What is the relationship of solar energy to nuclear energy?
They seem independent to me - except that solar energy arises from nuclear fusion in the sun
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
What is the difference between solar energy and wind energy?
Solar energy is generated by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity using photovoltaic cells, while wind energy is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind through wind turbines to produce electricity. Solar energy relies on sunlight availability, while wind energy relies on wind speed and consistency. Both types of energy are renewable and clean sources of electricity.
What is the difference between a solar panel and a ground pump?
solar panels get energy from the sun and ground pumps get energy from turning water.
Is solar the same as nuclear?
No, solar and nuclear energy are not the same. Solar energy is produced by harnessing sunlight using photovoltaic cells, while nuclear energy is generated through splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. Each technology has different methods of energy production and different environmental impacts.
How nuclear energy is green in comparison with Solar?
solar is betr
What is the difference between global warning and solar energy?
global warming is because of pollution and solar power can prevent that so........solar energy is good because it does not pollute
What is the energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy is light energy.
What is the difference between solar and cellular energy?
Solar energy is the primary source of energy for life on Earth. Cellular energy is contained in bonds found in molecules within cells.
