What it thermal energy?
Since the late 60s/early 70s, heat has been considered as energy in transit from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Heat is directly comparable to work, where work describes energy in transit from one form into another.So, heat and work both describe transfers of energy, not energy itself.We can use water as an analogy. When it's vapour, we call it a 'cloud', when it condenses, we call it 'rain', when it's on the ground, we call it a 'puddle'. Well, heat and work are equivalent to 'rain' -water in transit between being a cloud and being a puddle!
Does a cloud have potential energy?
Yes, a cloud does have potential energy due to its position in the atmosphere. The potential energy is a result of the cloud's height above the ground, which can be converted into kinetic energy if the cloud descends to lower altitudes. This process is important in the formation of precipitation.
When is gravitational contraction an important energy generation mechanism for the Sun?
Gravitational contraction was an important energy generation mechanism for the Sun during its early formation stage when it was collapsing from a cloud of gas and dust. As the Sun contracted under its own gravity, potential energy was converted into thermal energy, causing the core temperature to rise and initiate nuclear fusion. Today, the primary energy generation mechanism in the Sun is nuclear fusion in its core.
What is the main disadvantage of solar thermal power plants?
One main disadvantage of solar thermal power plants is their high upfront cost of construction and installation. Additionally, these plants can be affected by weather conditions, such as cloud cover, which can impact their efficiency and reliability. Finally, there can be challenges associated with energy storage for use during times when the sun is not shining.
What is the gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud?
The gravitational potential energy of a contracting interstellar cloud increases as the cloud collapses inward due to gravity. This potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy and thermal energy, as the cloud contracts and heats up, eventually leading to the formation of a star.
Which process is required to allow a gravitationally-collapsing gas cloud to continue to collapse?
The process required to allow a gravitationally-collapsing gas cloud to continue collapsing is radiative cooling. Radiative cooling removes thermal energy from the gas cloud, facilitating further collapse under the influence of gravity.
What slow down the contracting of a star forming cloud when it makes a protostar?
trapping of thermal energy inside the protostar

Does Venus gets its energy from the sun or volcanoes?
I'm not sure what you mean by "energy". The temperature of Venus is generally attributed to "Green House Effect" and is the result of the sun's energy being trapped by the Venus cloud cover.
When was Cloud County Health Center created?
Cloud County Health Center was created in 1903.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud found in a atomic structure?
The nucleus is found at the center of the atom and the electron cloud is found orbiting the nucleus at fixed, quantified radii.
When is thermal energy considered heat?
By the way heat is defined in thermodynamics, it is energy moving from one place to another. By analogy, rain is only rain when it is falling. When it is in the clouds we call it a cloud. Once it makes it to the ground it is just a puddle. Generally heat flows because of thermal gradients.

How do you make storm in little alchemy?

What orbits the center of a atom?
It is somewhat misleading to say that anything orbits the center of an atom. There is an electron cloud that surrounds the center of the atom, but the electrons do not actually orbit, they are just spread out in the form of a cloud.
Large gas cloud can collapse to become a much smaller spinning disk of gas and What law explains why the center of the cloud becomes so much hotter as the cloud shrinks in size?
As the gas cloud collapses, conservation of angular momentum causes it to rotate faster and flatten into a disk due to conservation of angular momentum. The increase in temperature at the center is due to gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the cloud shrinks in size, leading to increased collisions between gas particles and the generation of heat at the core.
