The Origin of the Solar System A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. The disturbance could be‚ for example‚ the shock wave from a nearby supernova. As the cloud collapses‚ it heats up and compresses in the center. It heats enough for the dust to vaporize. The initial collapse is supposed to take less than 100‚000 years. The center compresses enough to become a protostar and the rest of the gas orbits/flows around it

We all see the sun light every day‚ once you step outside on a hot day you fell its power and how destructive and life giving it is. Solar energy is the energy of the future‚ the main problem we have is making sure it is efficient and cheap. It seems that it would be simple to capture the sun’s rays and make electricity‚ but the material that “captures” the rays is very expensive due to it having to be a really pure material; if we use materials that are not as “pure” the electric current can’t go

Advantages of Solar Energy in India Solar energy provides cost effective solutions to energy problems where there is no electricity at all. Some of the advantages of solar energy which makes it all the more suitable for India are as follows: No Pollution : Solar energy is environment friendly. Solar energy is non-polluting‚ clean‚ reliable and renewable source of electricity. It does not pollute the air by releasing harmful gases like carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide. Solar energy does not

Cause/Effect: Solar Energy Solar radiation is an energy resource many times larger than mankind’s energy needs. Mankind has been able to capture/harness this energy resource‚ but only on a limited scale. Mankind has found that the use of the sun was quite useful. They used it to grow and dry crops‚ dry clothing‚ produce heat‚ and for light. The sun is a sphere‚ on the inside of the sun there is a continuous process of fusion in which hydrogen nuclei combine to from helium nuclei. There is less

Advantages Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy‚ expensive and liable to breaking down. Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community

the development of a vibrant solar industry. In 2006‚ SB1 established the California Solar Initiative. The initiative’s ambitious goal is to place solar electric systems on a million California roofs by 2016‚ with a total generating capacity of 3‚000 megawatts‚ equivalent to the peak output of three large nuclear reactors. Initiative critics claim that solar electricity is too expensive‚ and that the money spent on solar incentives would be better spent on other energy options. These critics‚ including

Lesson 1: Our Solar System What makes up our solar system? When we think of the solar system most of us think of eight planets orbiting around the sun. However‚ the solar system is a lot more complicated‚ larger and exciting than this simple description. The solar system is a gravitationally bound system with all the objects in this system revolving around the sun. The eight planets revolving around the sun are: Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupitar‚ Saturn‚ Neputune‚ Uranus and Pluto. However‚ the

The Solar System The solar system still to this day one of the most fascinating subjects of study in the science world. In our time‚ we are one of the first generations to see the planets of our solar system up close‚ and we have been able to view evolution of these planets through time. Our solar system consists of a middle aged star called the Sun‚ 9 planets‚ about 100 moons‚ thousands of asteroids‚ millions of icy bodies‚ and many comets revolving around all of it. We can begin by looking
