After having our solar system been observed for centuries and studied in detail for decades, just recently a new planet was discovered within our solar system. This Planet is called Planet 9 and was just recently discovered thanks to mathematical modeling and computer simulation (Watts). This new discovery is important to space exploration because it proves that there is more to know about our solar system. The discovery of Planet 9 also sparked the interest…
Solar energy is one of the oldest forms of energy use as our early ancestors used heat from the sun to start fires to cook food are heated rocks to provide warmth through the night. These two scenarios are both examples of solar renewable energy. You may have noticed some of your neighbors with shinny panels on top of their roof. Well your neighbors are going green and trying to get away from non-renewable energy which hurts the environment by the pollution that comes from using oil or nuclear…
alternative ways of providing energy to the human population, solar energy lends itself to provide energy in an efficient manner that helps protect and save…
more energy efficiency and increasing the use of solar energy so that the increasing population will have adequate energy supplies should non-renewable energy sources become depleted. Energy efficiency can be improved by setting stricter guidelines for energy use for corporations and local businesses. These guidelines should be well enforced. Being energy efficient saves money spent on energy costs, and reduces pollution emissions. Additionally, solar panels should be installed onto medium to…
Solar Energy Solar energy is one of the greatest inventions that has changed lives by bringing power to thousands, and has the potential to help all! The sun emits enormous amounts of solar radiation. Solar panels are built with a very complex structure. Solar power is being used all around the world, mostly by more developed countries, and has the potential to be effective everywhere in Africa. Solar energy can be used for everyones electricity needs by making their home efficient and power…
pollution, create a renewable and abundant source of energy, and all at a small cost. The first and most common alternate source of energy is solar power. Solar power has been used since the beginning of time, by plants that is, but we are just now leaning to use it. It works by harnessing the energy from sun light. This is the most direct…
alternative energy has begun to peak interest, and become a more readily available and cost efficient means of sustainability. An example of this would be the huge drop in cost of solar panels. In 1977 a solar panel went for $76.67 per watt compared to todays cost of $0.613 per watt. In many countries as well the cost of solar power compared to the diesel fired peaking is lower. The only problem being that storage is not as readily available. But its not all bad news, as humans have begun to see…
Solar energy is a resource that produces electricity by emitting energy from the sun in form of solar radiation. Moreover, solar energy is not only considered as a type of renewable energy, but also sustainable energy, which means that it does not harm the environment, and there are no limits for using it. Further, devices that are used to produce solar energy are solar panels and solar cell. However, everything has both negative and positive sides, and solar energy also has its advantages and…
Is the end near or is it all a hoax? The long-term use of greenhouse gases including fuel for cars, emissions from charcoal and many others will have everlasting effects that will ultimately lead to the demise of civilization and mankind. Changes in climate will have damaging consequences, such as flooding and increased worldwide storm activity, which can be prevented only if humans get involved. Media may portray emotional stories to fear society into beliefs. Evidence will be proven for each…
The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest…
