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.
How is solar energy good and bad?
Solar energy is good. It is the root of all other forms of energy on Earth, except geothermal. It can be destructive if the surface activity of the Sun is violent and ejects a mass of charged particles on an intercept course of Earth.
Why can both wind energy and water energy be considered indirect forms of solar energy?
all energy on Earth ultimately comes from the sun.
What are some pros and cons of using solar energy?
