What two things make thermal energy?
Thermal energy is primarily generated by the movement of particles within a substance, known as heat. Additionally, thermal energy can also be produced by the vibration and rotation of molecules within an object.
What are three things that are thermal energy?
Sunlight: The radiant energy emitted by the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves. Geothermal energy: Heat generated and stored within the Earth's core. Heat from a fire: The energy produced by the combustion of materials like wood or natural gas.
What is a energy created by the sun?
Solar energy is energy produced by the sun's nuclear reactions. Solar energy can be harnessed through solar panels to generate electricity or used for heating applications. It is a renewable and sustainable source of energy.
What are the things that use nuclear energy?
In countries with nuclear plants, like the US, all the generated electricity goes into the grid distribution network, so you can't separate the nuclear part out. Thus any electrical appliance will be using some nuclear, except in some small isolated areas perhaps which are not connected to the national networks.
What is energy produced by?
Energy can be produced by various sources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), nuclear reactions, renewable sources (solar, wind, hydroelectric), and biomass (organic materials like wood and crops). The energy produced is then converted into electricity, heat, or mechanical energy for various applications.
What is nucler power?
The phrase nuclear power means one or both of two things. It can be a type of electricity that is generated by nuclear energy or it can be a nation that possesses nuclear weapons.

Can nuclear power actually power anything?
Yes, nuclear power can directly power things. But we usually use the thermal energy generated by nuclear reactions to "power" things. We collect the heat, boil water to make steam, and spin turbines (with an attached generator) to make electricity. A radioactive source generated heat to drive a thermoelectric generator to power up a "deep" space probe. (The probe will be far from the sun and solar panels won't be sufficient to power things up.) We've seen applications where the old Soviet Union used a "nuclear pump" (a nuclear bomb) to power a beam weapon. And designers have come up with nuclear engines for space ships. Both of these directly use the energy of nuclear power to "power" something. But we don't normally encounter direct use of nuclear energy to do work.
Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.
What is produced during the process of friction?
During the process of friction, heat is produced as a result of the resistance between two surfaces moving against each other. This heat is generated due to the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy at the contact points between the surfaces.

Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.

What has nuclear energy done for the environment?
Nuclear energy produces low greenhouse gas emissions, which helps mitigate climate change. It also reduces air pollution by displacing fossil fuel usage in power generation. Additionally, nuclear plants take up less land area compared to renewable energy sources like solar or wind.
