How does the sun's energy travel to Earth?

Physics

Sidana [21]3 years ago

Answer:

When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.

Answer: The sun’s radiation consists of small, massless packets of energy called photons. They travel seamlessly through space; whenever they strike any object, the object absorbs photons and its energy is increased, which then heats it up.

What happens to the strength of the magnetic field as you come closer to the current carrying wire?
lina2011 [118]
Electric energy is carried by current, which is the flow of electrons, which are the negatively charged sub-particles of atoms. This transfer of electrons from one place to another powers our lights, phones, appliances and many other things we use every day. Another interesting phenomenon of flowing current is that it produces its own magnetic field. Electricity and magnetism are very closely linked in that all closed loop currents create their own magnetic fields, and magnetic fields acting upon closed loop circuits can produce current or even change current diction.

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.
spin [16.1K]
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

Why is silicon needed in solar panels?
kodGreya [7K]
Hi, silicon is essential in solar panels because, silicon is a semiconductor material (meaning a solid substance that has a conductivity of an insulator and is an essential component of most electric circuits ) now, when dipped with impurities such as gallium and arsenic it has the ability to capture the suns energy and convert to electricity. hope this is helpful if it is than put a thank you plz.
