1. Our solar system is made up of the sun and everything that travels around it. This includes eight planets and their natural satellites such as Earth’s moon; dwarf planets such as Pluto and Ceres; asteroids; comets and meteoroids 2. The sun is the center of our solar system. It contains almost all of the mass in our solar system and exerts a tremendous gravitational pull on planets and other bodies. 3. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. 4. The four planets closest to the Sun

Solar Energy All life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. Solar energy is the source of energy for photosynthesis. It provides the warmth necessary for plants and animals to survive. Scientists have found a way to use God’s natural light towards the advantage of our daily lives. The affects of this idea revolutionary‚ results of solar power could lead to a more modernized society and efficient economy. Solar energy is a term that usually means the direct use of sunlight

Solar eclipse From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Not to be confused with Lunar eclipse. Photo of 1999 total eclipse As seen from the Earth‚ a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth‚ and the Moon fully or partially blocks ("occults") the Sun. This can happen only at new moon‚ when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment referred to as syzygy. In a total eclipse‚ the disk of the Sun is fully obscured

environmentalists such as Thomas Friedman believe that the use and production of sustainable energy resources is the way of the future and particularly vital to the advancement of the human race and the world‚ as we know it. As renewable energy sources such as solar power continue to become a more sought after approach for our everyday energy needs‚ engineers and environmentalists are developing innovative ideas for renewable energy and are also discussing the benefits of this new technology. It seems as though

Background * Three solar energy * Solar electric (太阳电能): convert the sun’s energy into electricity * Solar thermal (太阳热能): used the sun for heating or cooling * Concentrating solar: mixed both above as it used small optical mirrors to collect solar energy and convert the sunlight to heat. The heat was then applied to a liquid and gas to turn a turbine‚ thereby creating electricity * Grid-tied * Solar electric system that were connected to an electricity utility

maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms in a photovoltaic simulation system. The Matlab/Simulink is used in this paper to establish a model of photovoltaic system with MPPT function. This system is developed by combining the models of established solar module and DC-DC buck-boost converter with the algorithms of perturbation and observation (P&O)‚ incremental conductance (INC) and hill climbing (HC)‚ respectively. The system is simulated under different climate conditions and MPPT algorithms. According

assignment is based on solar energy and the title is “Solar Energy: and infinite resource meeting our infinite demand.” Firstly‚ solar energy is then introduced where it states that the energy radiated from sun is the solar energy which is essential for Earth. The aspects to be covered and the motivation for choosing solar energy are then explained. Pictures of solar cells are provided to have a better view of how solar power is generated. In addition‚ the importance of solar power is explained which
