There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.
1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)
2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).
3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).
I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
Answer:
Energy from the environment fuels production.
Explanation:
Environmental fuels can be produced from lands and contribute towards production. The land can contribute for the production of a Biogas plant and help in generating energy from the plant.

Answer:
5.2cm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Length of the side of a cube = 3cm
Unknown:
Diagonal of the cube = ?
Solution:
To find the diagonal of a cube, we use the expression below;
d =
a is the length of the side of the cube
Now insert the parameter and solve;
d =
= 5.2cm
Answer:
Image result for What are two differences between climate and weather? Write your response in two to three complete sentences.
Weather reflects short-term conditions of the atmosphere while climate is the average daily weather for an extended period of time at a certain location. ... Weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate, is the average of weather over time and space.Explanation:
