A solar collector is a device that gathers radiant energy from the sun and convert it into thermal energy. This process is commonly used in solar water heaters and solar ovens to harness sunlight for heating purposes.

no it does not store chemical energy it turns into thermal energy:)


When thermal energy is released water turns to this state of matter?

When thermal energy is released, water turns from a liquid state to a gaseous state, becoming water vapor or steam.

No antil it hits erth then it turns into thermal energy.


When water turns from a liquid to a gas is it gaining or losing thermal energy?

its losing


Gathers radiant energy and turns it into heat?

This could be describing a solar panel, which absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat energy or electricity. Solar panels utilize photovoltaic cells to capture solar energy and convert it into usable forms.


How are changes in thermal energy and state of matter realted?

If the thermal energy is higher, then the particles in the object move faster and want to get away from each other because it is so hot, thus, its a gas. If the thermal energy is lower, then the particles in the object move slower and form a solid shape, like they are huddling together, thus, its a solid. If the thermal energy is right in between the two above, then it is a liquid. A great example is H2O, it is the base measurement of density, when its thermal energy rises, it turns into water vapor, if its thermal energy lowers, it turns to ice.


How come you olny get a fraction light energy from the sun?

Some bounces off you and some turns into thermal energy.


What type of energy occurs when you hit the brakes on a bike?

i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.


When dry ice disappears does the thermal energy decrease or increase?

i think the thermal energy increases because thermal energy is the energy which is due to the movement of particles, so when the the particles are released there is more thermal energy(they against each other).


What is a kind of energy involved in phase change?

Thermal energy, when you heat a solid, it turns to liquid and with more heat it will turn to gas
