Solar System About 4‚700 million years ago‚ the Solar System was just a spinning disc of dust and gas. The dust began to collect together and our Sun formed at the centre. Around Sun‚ lumps of rock joined up to form smaller bodies and‚ like the Sun‚ they heated up. But because they were smaller they soon cooled down and became planets. Sun accounts for 99.85 per cent of mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets

A solar oven or solar cooker is a device which uses sunlight as its energy source. Because they use no fuel and they cost nothing to run‚ humanitarian organizations are promoting their use worldwide to help slow deforestation and desertification‚ caused by using wood

by experts. The website is relatively current and it has been last updated in February 2012. The beginning of Everett’s report points out the following: (1) The CO2 level and the sea level were higher than today due to orbital mechanics and solar variability. (2) It is known that the human’s contribution to CO2 is only very little. (3) The Earth’s CO2 absorbability is underestimated. (4) The relationship between CO2 and the temperature has not been proven. First point has been

of a photovoltaic structure (solar panel and inverter) the article presents potential social impacts related with photovoltaic technology as the outcome of a preliminary desk-based research that is part of a social impact assessment of the technology. Photovoltaic technology is close related with the electronic industry where we can find severe social impacts throughout the supply chain from raw material extraction to disposal. In the PV case‚ the manufacture of solar cells involves several toxic

Solar Panels Solar Panels‚ also known as Solar Cells‚ convert solar energy into electrical energy. When sunlight hits the solar panel it knocks electrons loose from their atoms and then they move through the built in circuit‚ thus creating a current of energy. This energy can be stored in batteries for later use or it can be used right away. Antoine César Becquerel‚ a French scientist‚ and his son‚ Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel‚ were the first to notice photovoltaic power in 1839. They discovered

SOLAR SYSTEM PLANETS MERCURY • The closest planet to the sun‚ Mercury is only a bit larger than Earth’s moon. Its day side is scorched by the sun and can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius)‚ but on the night side‚ temperatures drop to hundreds of degrees below freezing. VENUS • The second planet from the sun‚ Venus is terribly hot‚ even hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere is toxic. The pressure at the surface would crush and kill you. Scientists describe Venus’ situation as a runaway greenhouse

1. INTRODUCTION A solar cell is a device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight‚ while the term photovoltaic cell is used when the light source is unspecified.”Photovoltaics” the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use.

Solar powered cars have been said to be the future of renewable transportation and that they are supposed to be economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Though it may sound like pure science fiction‚ there is development happening around world that is bringing that notion into reality. As I researched thoroughly to create my conceptual model for solar cars‚ I asked myself this: Are solar vehicles even practical for the U.S.? Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth
