Most forms of solar energy rely on daylight, so solar energy can't be used during night, coal fired power stations can be used day and night.
Coal power at it's simplest (coal fires) can be used for heating rooms and houses.
Electricity,gas,solar power, wind mills,oil fired generators wood and coal ranges and fires for cooking ang heating.
Coal mining will not last for long because coal is becoming scarce.
West Virginia burns t coal to produce electricity by burning coal and generating electricity .
Apart from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we produce electricity from renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
Most coal is used in the production of electricity by burning the coal to heat water to power steam turbines that run generators.
If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
Solar energy is a non-example of coal. Solar energy is generated from sunlight through solar panels, whereas coal is a fossil fuel that is mined from the earth.
The only thing similar is each produces energy. The coal is the dirtiest form while solar is the cleanest.
Solar power is another way for us to harness energy. Natural resources such as coal and oil are limited resources and we are using them quickly. Solar energy is also better for the environment.
Coal and solar energy are alike because they both are having to do with energy and they are both formed ny the sun or have sun in them. Although, solar energy is renewable and coal is non-renewable they both have some similarities.
The sun?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
it provides energy without burning coal.
Coal is derived from plant material which was produced by solar energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is roughly H20 + CO2 + solar energy = Ch20 + O2, which converts CO2 and water to oxygen and plant material as the plant grows.
Coal, wind, hydroelectricity, and solar. Coal is most used.
When coal is burned, the energy released comes originally from the sun because coal is formed from organic matter such as dead plants and trees that captured solar energy through photosynthesis. This stored solar energy in the form of carbon is released when coal is burned, making it a fossil fuel.
Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
