Essay / Solar Energy - 715
As the world ages, many young inventors and scientists are creating new methods to make the world safer and more sufficient. There are many new methods of energy production such as wind, geothermal, biomass and solar energy. Solar energy is the radiant energy emitted by the sun which, after being processed, is used as solar energy. Solar energy is also an example of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation propagates toward Earth in various wavelengths, most of which are invisible to the human eye such as gamma or ultraviolet rays. Nuclear fusion in the sun produces solar energy. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy. This type of energy is very sufficient and "clean" for the earth because its only machine is the sun and the light it provides and the heating of the earth's surface or any object on it, like a solar panel. Solar energy flows constantly, from the sun, through space and the solar system, and down to Earth. It is also the cause of wind and other weather changes, as well as maintaining the innate life of animals and plants. Since solar energy is so inventive and efficient, there is a very high supply and demand for solar energy products. Solar energy products can range from solar panels to cell phone charges, and everything in between. Solar energy is becoming a popular way to power homes in the United States. Across the country, people cover their roofs with solar panels, heat their swimming pools with solar energy, and even turn on the lights in their homes using solar energy. Solar power is quickly becoming the most popular form of energy in America.... middle of paper ...... In the universe, we should not be seduced into worshiping the moon, stars or sun because God gave them to all people. of the earth. New methods of producing energy are wonderful, and solar energy is a very attractive method; but we should not worship this invention. Solar energy is a gift from God, as is everything it provides, so when we admire such things, we must not forget who gave them to us. Works Cited “How electricity is generated using solar energy”.
