Why does solar power increase or decrease?

Because solar inclination changes with the season. In the summer, the solar inclination is greater. That means you have more incident sunlight on your solar panel. More sunlight equals more power.


What continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it?

The Earth's surface continues to absorb solar energy and increase in temperature as long as the sun's rays hit it. This process is known as solar radiation. The absorbed solar energy is then re-radiated as heat back into the atmosphere.


Is solar energy safer then nuclear energy?

Solar energy is certainly safer than nuclear energy, but decidedly more expensive with much greater space requirements...at this time. As solar and other alternative energy sources are developed, it is reasonable to assume that the costs will decrease. Whether or not they will ever decrease to the costs per kilowatt hour that nuclear energy can achieve remains to be seen.


What type of energy uses the photoelectric effect?

Solar energy uses the photoelectric effect to convert light energy into electrical energy. When sunlight shines on a solar panel, the photoelectric effect causes electrons to be released, creating an electric current.


A delay between earths absorption of solar energy and an increase in temperature makes the warmest part of the day?

The delay in Earth's absorption of solar energy is due to the time it takes for the land and water to heat up. This delay causes the warmest part of the day to occur in the late afternoon, after peak solar radiation has been received. The lag in temperature increase is a result of the Earth's thermal inertia and the redistribution of heat across the planet.

As the number of sunspots increases would the suns energy output also increase or decrease?

As the number of sunspots increases, the sun's energy output decreases. Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface that correspond to stronger magnetic fields, leading to reduced energy production. This is known as the solar cycle, where high sunspot activity is associated with a decrease in overall energy output.


What causes this loss of solar energy?

The color black does this to solar energy?

The color black absorbs solar energy, which causes it to heat up. This absorption of solar energy can be harnessed for various applications, such as solar heating systems or solar panels to generate electricity.


What seson does solar energy begin to increase?

Solar energy production typically begins to increase in the spring season as the days get longer and the sun's angle becomes more direct. This allows solar panels to receive more sunlight and generate more energy.


How can we reduce the use of solar energy?

Why would you want to reduce the use of solar energy? Everyone else is trying to increase the use of solar energy. It is not as if using it will cause us to run out of sun.
