Final Draft Solar Energy: Powering Our Future Today nearly half of the world’s energy is provided by petroleum. What began as a cheap and abundant way to provide energy‚ has become expensive‚ environmentally harmful‚ and finite. With population explosions and the demands of modern lifestyles‚ the world’s need for energy production has become far too much for fossil fuels to keep up with. Experts say that the Earth’s stores of petroleum will be depleted by 2050

Planets of our Solar System The Earth: The earth is the fifth largest planet of the solar system. The life is possible on the earth because its gravity is sufficient to hold atmosphere and best conditions for sustaining life. It contains a large amount of water in the form of oceans. 71% parts of the total area is covered with water and the remaining 29% is covered with land. The temperature of the centre of the earth is 2000° C. The circumference of the earth is 40‚000 km. The earth completes

E0 means that an elliptical galaxy is extremely round‚ whilst E7 is flat. However not all galaxies

The Formation of the Solar System is one of the oldest problems in science. There have been many theories on how the Solar System formed‚ but there is only one theory that has been accepted. That would be the nebular theory. Also known as the nebular hypothesis and solar nebula hypothesis. The nebular hypothesis is a model that explains the evolution of the Solar System. Also‚ the nebular hypothesis is the most accepted model in the field of cosmogony. This model explains subjectively many features

AQUA-MARIE Solar System Nebular Hypothesis. According to the nebular hypothesis‚ these clouds collapsed from some kind of turbulence that caused it to heat up and eventually turn into a star. My understanding of the origin and evolution of the solar system is still very limited. Development is made by pushing through the scientific process of hypothesis‚ prediction‚ measurement‚ theory‚ and hypothesis. However‚ there is still a lot of guesswork to be tested before we can really talk about

MINOR MEMBERS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM ASTEROIDS Asteroids are small rocky bodies that have been likened to “flying mountains.” The largest‚ Ceres‚ is about 1000 kilometers in diameter‚ but most are only about 1 kilometer across. The smallest asteroids are assumed to be no larger than grains of sand. Most asteroids lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have orbital periods of three to six years. Some asteroids have very eccentric orbits and travel very close to the sun‚ and a few larger

____________________________________________ Solar Energy System Design The largest solar electric generating plant in the world produces a maximum of 354 megawatts (MW) of electricity and is located at Kramer Junction‚ California. This solar energy generating facility‚ shown below‚ produces electricity for the Southern California Edison power grid supplying the greater Los Angeles area. The authors ’ goal is to provide the necessary information to design such systems. The solar collectors concentrate sunlight

The objects in the asteroid belts that are contained within the Solar System affect life on Earth today. These asteroid belts are the main asteroid belt and‚ the Kuiper Belt. Since these belts contain so many objects‚ there is diversity present within the objects. The asteroid belts consist of many categories of asteroids‚ the sizes of which‚ can vary greatly‚ ranging from a few meters to miles long. However‚ the mass of all discovered asteroids is still less than Earth’s mass. This is logical since
