Solar Energy
Solar energy is "Alternative Energy", which does no generate from fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy received from the sun. Other renewable sources of energy are: hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass and wind energy. It is estimated that earth receives 10 times more energy from the sun than the earth's supply of fossil fuels.
Thermal Energy
Thermal energy or heat energy is the amount of internal kinetic energy of atoms and molecules that flows from warmer to a cooler environment.
No. Solar power is not the same as thermal energy. Thermal energy is the random kinetic motion of microscopic molecule. Solar power on the other hand is derived from electromagnetic waves. For example: lets take a plant. If you put a plant in a dark room and heat the plant, the plant will still die even though it is supplied with thermal energy. However if you now add light(of specific wavelengths) the plant will thrive. So the plant can discern the difference between thermal energy and solar energy. Hope that helps
the solar energy is the energy of sun and sun gives light and heat but the thermal energy is only a heat energy but radiant energy is light and heat energy so the answer will be no and the correct answer will be radiant energy
Yes, solar energy can be converted into thermal energy passively through techniques like solar water heaters or concentrating solar power systems. These systems absorb sunlight and directly generate heat without the need for mechanical work.
No, solar energy comes directly from the sun in the form of sunlight and can be converted into electricity using solar panels. Thermal energy, on the other hand, is the internal energy of a system due to its temperature and can be harnessed for heating purposes using technologies like solar thermal systems.
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also

H. P. Garg has written: 'Solar Thermal Energy' 'Solar thermal energy storage' -- subject(s): Heat storage, Solar thermal energy
The main difference between the solar cell and detector is that the cell stores the energy, while the detector directs the energy towards the cell.
it is the energy stored in batteries

Solar energy is generated by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity using photovoltaic cells, while wind energy is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind through wind turbines to produce electricity. Solar energy relies on sunlight availability, while wind energy relies on wind speed and consistency. Both types of energy are renewable and clean sources of electricity.

you get radiant and thermal energy. Solar power.
