What are two differences between using solar energy and wind energy?
One difference is the source: solar energy comes from the sun, while wind energy comes from the movement of air. Another difference is the way energy is converted: solar energy is converted directly using solar panels, while wind energy is converted through wind turbines.
What part of the sun generates the solar wind?
The corona of the sun generates the solar wind. It is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, where temperatures are extremely high, causing particles to escape and form the solar wind that travels through the solar system.
Why is wind energy called solar energy?
Wind energy is indirectly derived from the sun because the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun creates wind patterns. As the sun heats the air at different rates, the air moves, creating wind. Therefore, wind energy is often referred to as a form of solar energy.
Does Solar wind occurs as gusts of wind on the sun similar to strong wind gusts on the earth?
Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles, mainly protons and electrons, that flow from the Sun's outer atmosphere into space. It does not occur as gusts like wind on Earth, but rather as a steady flow with occasional fluctuations in speed and density. These fluctuations can be caused by solar activity like solar flares or coronal mass ejections.
How is solar power and wind power different?
Solar power uses photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity, while wind power uses turbines to convert the kinetic energy of wind into electricity. Solar power is dependent on sunlight, whereas wind power is dependent on wind speed and consistency. Both are renewable sources of energy, but they rely on different natural elements for generation.
What is a stream of electrically charged particles from the sun called?
The general dissipation of charged particles from the sun is called the Solar Wind. Occasionally the sun also emits vast quantities of matter from bursts known as "Coronal Mass Ejections". (The Corona is the Sun's atmosphere.)
The gas in the solar atmosphere is so hot that it enters what state of matter?
Plasma- the 4th state of matter, beyond gasses.
What is the source of solar wind?
Solar flares from the sun produce bursts of solar wind, but solar wind is constantly streaming out from the sun.
Is solar corona the fifth state of matter?
yes solar corona is the fifth state of matter. some say that filaments are the fifth but it is also true. filaments are just in solar coronas and is positively charged. i know its a plain answer but it wraps up to pretty much that.
A stream of electrically charged particles from the sun is called?
It is solar wind
What causes the curtains of light?
solar wind solar wind
How are solar and wind power different?
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
What sources of energy are wind and solar?
Wind and solar are renewable energy.
What is solar procience?
solar wind
What are loops of matter flowing from the Sun called?
The streams of charged particles flowing out into Space from the Sun are collectively the Solar Wind.
The corona sends out a stream of electrically charged particles called the?
solar wind
Is wind energie the same as solar energy?
No, wind energy comes from the wind and solar energy comes from the sun.
