Your Guide to Energy Smart Living
The sun represents an enormous nuclear reactor that converts its own mass into light particles or photons. Trillions of photons fill Earth’s atmosphere every second. The sun’s nuclear reaction consumes 4.2 million tons of mass per second. The Earth intercepts just 2 billionths of the sun’s energy output. On any particular day, 35,000 times the total amount of energy that people use reaches the surface of the Earth from the sun. If humanity could tap into a small fraction of {Read More}
Q: How is solar energy renewable and why is that important? Renewable sources of energy are characterized by the ability to replenish themselves without any human involvement. Examples of renewable sources of energy include solar but also hydropower, geothermal and wind energy. Solar energy is a renewable energy source because regardless of how much it is used, its supply will never be exhausted. In other words, renewable resources are not only characterized by abundant energy flows, but also by their {Read More}
The sun is at the helm of all life on the Earth. It is a virtually inexhaustible energy source that all living things, including us humans, need to grow and thrive. The sun converts its own mass into light particles known as photons. It charges the Earth with trillions of photons that fill the atmosphere each moment. The truth is, the sun supplies more energy in a single hour than all of humanity uses within one year. A French physicist {Read More}
