How can infrared waves burn you?

Infrared waves can burn you by transferring heat energy to your skin. This can happen when you are exposed to high levels of infrared radiation, such as from sources like intense heat lamps or industrial equipment. The heat absorbed by your skin can cause burns similar to those from excessive sun exposure.


Which type of energy causes sun burn?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun causes sunburn. UV radiation can penetrate the skin and damage cells, leading to redness, inflammation, and sometimes blistering. It is important to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing.


How a human might get energy from the sun?

Humans can indirectly get energy from the sun by consuming plants that have undergone photosynthesis, converting solar energy into chemical energy. Additionally, humans can directly harness solar energy through solar panels to generate electricity or heat water for various uses.


How much energy does a supernova produce during its explosive event?

A supernova can produce as much energy in a few seconds as our sun will in its entire lifetime.


Much of the energy we use today came origanally from the sun.explain?

Plants and many bacteria, use the sunlight to make food. They then eventually go up the food chain to us, and thus we get the energy to move around or even walk. We have to get the energy from these guys because we don'r get our energy from the sun. Also, pretty much all the things we burn as fuel (gasoline, wood, charcoal, coal, natural gas, etc) originally came from plant sources, which as stated above got their energy from the sun (sometimes millions of years ago). Burning them releases the stored energy.

When you burn coal oil and gas for energy how are you using stored energy from the Sun?

yes


Why solar energy is consider a inexhaustible source of energy?

The sun will not burn out any time soon and thus we are able to harness the energy it provides us. Although it will burn out eventually, it is not much of a concern; nearly six billion years tand between now and then.


What does the sun contain that it can burn anything in seconds?

A lot of thermal energy.


Does the sun need oxygen to burn?

No, the sun does not burn in the way that we typically think of burning. It undergoes nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. Oxygen is not required for this reaction to occur.


What helps to burn up energy?

if you have too much energy the best way to burn it up would be to excercise.


How does the sun effect the sun?

really it does becaues the sun is always using it's energy and gas so some day millions of years from now it will burn out of gas's and energy it will die


Does the sun burn propane to make butane?

No. The Sun doesn't "burn" anything; it fuses hydrogen to create helium, and vast quantities of energy. Propane is what powers your gas barbecue. The Sun is powered by nuclear explosions.


What are calories measuring?

The amount of energy that you can get from that food. We get our energy from calories. And when we burn energy, we burn calories. So, we measure calories to see how much energy we will get from that particular food. This tells us how much of that food we should eat, compared to how much energy we expend.


Are their any health hazards associated with the way the sun produces energy?

The sun can burn you and eventually lead to skin cancer


Why the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy?

It is going to burn out someday a long time from now.


why sun is an inexhaustible source of energy?

How does the sun burn out?

because of its too much HEAT LD!
