Understanding Solar Concepts
Let us apply the centripetal force to the solar system, and see how it works out. The original heat of every member of the solar system, including the sun, depended on the gravitating energy of its own mass. Because 31 days is longer than the nodical month, there must be at least one solar eclipse in each eclipse season, resulting in two each year.
Solar Vocabulary
Synonyms for solar are sidereal, lunar, cosmic. Words related to solar are stellar, empyreal. The name solar comes from the Latin solarius, perhaps denoting someone who lived near or at the house of an important family.
Solar Technologies and Applications
Solar technologies convert sunlight into energy through photovoltaic panels or mirrors that concentrate radiation. Huawei produces solar inverters and solutions for monitoring of solar systems. Most solar heat supply installations are equipped with solar collectors.
Advantages of Solar Energy
- The main advantage of solar energy is that it is a renewable, clean source.
- Solar energy doesn’t require storage.
- The world’s largest floating solar power plant.
- Solar radiation is freely available.
- Geography affects solar potential; areas closer to the equator receive higher solar radiation.
Do you want solar panels? Even though galaxies bump into each other, solar systems don’t collide.
