Why does black atract the sun?

Black absorbs light rays easily and absorbs all colors, making you feel hotter if you wear black. However, white doesn't absorb light rays and reflects all colors, so you might prefer to wear that or another light color such as lime green, pastel blue, or pink on a hot day. On the other hand, on a chilly winter day dark colors would be the smart choice.

What is the average maintenance for a solar panel?

The average maintenance cost for a solar panel is typically low, as they require minimal upkeep. Basic maintenance includes cleaning the panels periodically to remove dirt and debris, as well as checking the connections and performance regularly. Costs may vary depending on the size of the system and any additional services required.

Is there gravity near the sun?

Yes, there is gravity near the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, and the sun's mass creates a gravitational field that affects all objects in its vicinity, including planets and other celestial bodies.

What is the width of sun?

The diameter of the sun is about 64,938 miles (1.392 million km) wide.

What is eleptical orbit?

An elliptical orbit is a type of gravitational path followed by an object around another object. It is not a perfect circle, but rather an elongated shape resembling an oval. The object in orbit travels closer to and farther away from the central body at different points along its path.

Can Santa destroy the sun?

no, but overtime white racism might lead to a nuclear holocaust which could block out the sun.

cheers mate

---

No. He simply does not have enough snow bombs, not even all the elves work overtime. The sun's big, man.

How did the sun get its color?

The sun's color results from the temperature of its outer layer, which emits light in the yellow part of the visible spectrum. Hotter stars tend to emit more light in the blue part of the spectrum while cooler stars are more reddish.

Who promoted the heliocentric theory?

The heliocentric theory was promoted by Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century. He proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, contrary to the prevailing geocentric model at the time. This theory laid the foundation for our modern understanding of the Solar System.

In 2012 will there be a solar storm?

It is possible for a solar storm to occur in 2012 as they are a natural part of the Sun's cycle. However, predicting the exact timing and intensity of solar storms is difficult. It is always important for individuals and organizations to stay informed about space weather forecasts and take necessary precautions.

How long until the sun blows up?

The sun will never blow up. The sun will died in 5 to 7 billion years, but the process will be gradual.

How far away is hyperion from the sun?

Hyperion, one of Saturn's moons, orbits about 1.5 billion kilometers away from the Sun on average.

Why is the sun useful to Earth?

In short, the sun heats the earth with, of course, sunlight. It also allows plants to use photosynthesis, a process that feeds the plant.

Without the sun, the earth wouldn't be dark. The earth wouldn't be there. If the sun was no longer around, the milisecond it left, the earth would freeze. If it blew up, so would the Milky Way, our galaxy.

Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?

We can't hear nuclear explosions from the sun because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate, but space is mostly empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, mainly light and heat, rather than sound waves.

The Sun will eventually end up as a what?

Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.

'the sun in your face' or 'sun on your face'?

Both phrases are correct and can be used interchangeably. "The sun in your face" suggests that the sun is directed towards your face, while "sun on your face" implies that the sun is shining onto your face.

What is a solar ecplise?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking all or part of the sun's light. This creates a temporary shadow on Earth, causing either a partial or total blockage of the sun from view. Solar eclipses can be a rare and spectacular natural phenomenon.

What kind of wave does the sun produce?

the sun produce ultraviolet rays which strike the earth surface.

Why is the sun the ultimate source of energy for all living things?

All plants rely upon the sunlight to photosynthesize the food they need to grow, and more importantly to the food chain, to create the nutritious food animals need to survive. Without sunshine, all plants die.

.

Plants support the global food chain for all life. Plants are the original food source for all animals, even for carnivores and omnivores. Meat eaters may eat other animals, but eventually those animals in the food chain eat plants. Without plants, plant eating animals die, and without plant eating animals, all carnivorous animals die. Simply put, without plants, all animals die.

.

Without the sun, all life dies.

.

The sun also keeps the Earth at a reasonable temperature allowing life to evolve and continue, and it allows plants to grow through photosynthesis, which gives animals the energy they need to live and grow, and in the past to make fossil fuels which we use now.

Where is the sun's incoming solar radiation the strongest?

The strongest is in the tropics, where the sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface and about the same duration year-round.

How does the sun power falling water?

If by falling water you mean such things as rain, then the answer would be the Water Cycle. By that I mean the cycle by which the Sun heats up bodies of water causing them to evaporate, and also the Transpiration by plants sends water vapor into the atmosphere, there the water vapor collects and forms clouds and condenses to form rain. Then the rain falls into the bodies of water and get aborbed by plant life. and the cycle continues.

I hope this is what you meant by the sun powering falling water.

True or false the sun was born from a cloud of dust and gas?

The scientific answer:

True. The sun formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a cloud composed primarily of hydrogen and helium with some heavier elements collapsed, igniting nuclear fusion.

The creationist answer:

False. On the first day God said let their be light. Genesis 1:3

Is the sun really fire or is it something else?

No. The sun is not really made of fire. It is made of plasma; gas so hot that electrons start to break free of atoms. The process that powers the sun is not burning as we understand it, but nuclear fusion. Burning, or combustion as scientists call it, involves some flammable substance undergoing a chemical reaction with oxygen. In such a chemical change, atoms rearrange how they are bonded to one another, but the atoms themselves do not change.

At the center of the sun, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. The nuclear fusion in the sun is releases millions of times for energy than you would get from burning the same amount of fuel and produces far higher temperatures.

Why are solar panels so important?

Solar panels are important because they don't cause pollution, and they can increase the production of electricity in the world.

Another Answer:

Solar panels, as of today, produce virtually non of our annual power needs. I also are far from being a pollution free device. There is a variety of very nasty chemicals and gases used to make these panels. They rarely supply as much power as it takes to construct one. They do however, have some very useful applications where they work well.

1. Space. The power they produce can be very useful in keeping our satellites supplied with power.

2. Remote applications. Power far from the grid is needed and solar is a quiet method of getting small amounts of power

3. Back up applications. When the grid fails, solar panels can supply quiet limited power.

It is hoped that solar panels will become more powerful and useful as the technology develops. Until then they still have a working location in our world.

Where do you get solar speed stacks?

Solars, unfortunately, have been discontinued by Speed Stacks. To get them now you should try Ebay. I am lucky enough to have over 20 sets of them on loan from Speed Stacks. Good Luck trying to get a set! (the ones without the label on top and with the label on the side that wears off [aka generation 1 solars] are the fastest all around solars in my opinion) Current world records for sport stacking can be found at worldsportstackingassociation.org

How many quarks could fit in the sun?

If a quark has a length of 1×10-18m, and if the volume of a quark could be calculated by using this length as it's diameter, then:

The volume of a quark would be 5.236x10-49m

And if the volume of the sun is about 1.409 x 1018km3 (or 1.409x1027m3), then the number of quarks that could fit in the sun would be:

1.409x1027m3 / 5.236x10-49m3 = 0.269x1076 or 2.69x1075 or 2.69 Quattuorvigintillion quarks.

It should be noted that this is an approximate number, based on the length of an up-quark or a down-quark. As well, the volume for the sun is also approximate.
