How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?
The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.
What particle do you detect coming directly from the solar interior?
Neutrinos come from the sun's core.
Why are solar panels black?
black absorbs the sunlight which capture solar cells used for electricity
How does solar panels help the environment?
capture energy from the sun
What are the ways that you capture the suns energy on the earth?
by using solar panel..
How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?
The solar neutrino problem relates to the discrepancy between the proportions of the different flavours of neutrinos emitted by the sun in the theoretical model as opposed to experimental measurements. Whilst the sun primarily emitts electron neutrinos, neutrino observatories such as SNO+ detected neutrinos in roughly equal proportions of the three flavours; furthermore the quantity of electron neutrinos detected was less than the theoretically predicted value. Both of these can be explained by neutrino oscillation - in which the neutrinos alter their mass to change their flavour (ie. an electron neutrinos gain mass to change to a muon neutrino). This would also explain the relative lack of electron neutrinos, thus solving the solar neutrino problem!
Are scientists trying hard to detect solar neutrino?
Yes but not at much high level
What is used to capture solar neutrinos?
Most neutrino detectors use an enclosed container of purified water, which is shielded from all forms of terrestrial radiation. Neutrinos that interact with the water will produce tiny scintillations that are detected by sensitive photomultiplier tubes circling the container. Various forms of neutrinos will produce energy bursts at a specific energy level. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada used heavy water (deuterium oxide) which added higher sensitivity to the detection apparatus. The Large Volume Detector in Italy uses liquid hydrocarbons in stainless steel tanks, and observes neutrinos that impact the carbon-12 nuclei.

How do measurements of neutrinos from the sun pose a problem for modern astronomy?
At present, no problems. 15 years ago, scientists had no explanation for the small number of solar neutrinos detected at our Earth. Either we didn't understand neutrino formation in our Sun, our detectors were wrong, or neutrinos had the capacity to decay. The latter seemed to be the least likely possibility, so scientists argued for many years which of the first two was correct. In 1998 it was discovered that neutrinos do, indeed, decay into other neutrinos. The reason we weren't seeing as many neutrinos as we expected was because the ones we were expecting to see had decayed into other types. So the solar neutrino problem is no longer a problem.
What is the dolar neutrino problem?
I presume you mean, "What WAS the Solar neutrino problem?"Our understanding of our Sun's core predicted a certain number of neutrinos would hit our Earth per second. Measurements of neutrinos from our Sun were substantially different from this number. The scientists who did the theories said the scientists doing the measurements were wrong; and vice versa -- an argument that went back and forth for forty years.We now know that neutrinos do decay, thus perfectly explaining the lack of neutrinos that are measured as coming from our Sun.The scientists who write the theories are busy trying to explain neutrino decay.
What is a solar neutrinos?
Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.
