heating of water to the modern solar cells of the present day. The sun‚ creator of energy forms The sun isn’t just the mother of all life; it also creates almost all of the other energy forms. Most of the energy forms are just indirect solar energy. Waterpower exists because the sun makes the oceans to become steam so that the water can flow back as rivers‚ with enormous power. Wind power exists because different parts of the atmosphere absorb different amounts of solar heat and then comes into collision

a significant promise to help reduce the amount of toxins that are by-product of too much energy use and bring a positive impact on our planet that we currently use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable energy in the US is Hydropower.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. Because Saturn is bigger than Earth‚ you would weigh more on Saturn. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth you would weigh 112 on Saturn. The Romans gave the planet Saturn its name after their god of agriculture. Saturn is 74‚899 miles wide (120‚535 kilometers wide). It takes Saturn ten hours and forty minutes to complete one single rotation‚ isn ’t that cool! One day on Saturn is only ten hours long‚ ours is twenty-four hours long. Thirty years

RENEWABLE ENERGY In simple terms Renewable Energy‚ as its name implies‚ is energy that is renewable—it is naturally replenished and is the energy that is derived from nature itself like water‚ sunlight‚ wind etc. Most of the energy used before the start of the Industrial Revolution was renewable energy. The beginning of the Industrial Revolution led to an increase in the demand for coal‚ and as a result‚ it replaced most of the “bio mass” used by humanity. With the discovery of oil‚ renewable energy

focusing on solar and wind power. Solar power is simply the conversion of energy from the sun into usable energy. Solar energy can be harvested in two ways: indirectly by using the heat of the sun and directly by utilizing its energy to turn it into electricity. What makes solar power so popular is the fact that it can be used anywhere that has sunlight. Solar power can be collected in 3 different ways: solar heat collectors‚ solar thermal concentrating systems‚ and photovoltaics. Solar heat collectors
