The Sun is involved in the formation of most of the energy sources on Earth. It is even involved in the formation of fossil fuels. Thus, the Sun is the ultimate source of energy for any energies derived from the fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are made when plants use solar energy to make chemical energy in the form of sugar. When the plants die, they are compressed and form coal.
When the coal is burned, the chemical energy in the coal is converted into heat energy which is used to make steam. The steam causes a turbine (i.e., a very large fan blade) to turn thus producing mechanical energy. As the turbine turns, electrical energy is generated which can then be transmitted through power lines.
Between steps 4 and 5, the mechanical energy of the turbine is converted to <u>electrical energy.</u>
Explanation:
A turbine can be described as rotating device which converts energy from fluid like water or energy from the wind into useful form of energy like electricity.
There are different types of turbines each made to generate energy from different sources.
To generate hydroelectricity, the water which is stored in a dam (potential energy) is released over a rotating turbine (mechanical energy) made of blades which converts it into electrical energy.
"Gravity is the force that pulls Earth and stops it from going off in some other direction.” Without the sun's gravitational pull, Earth would move in a straight line away from the sun. Gravity is also the force that keeps the moon revolving around Earth.
The closer the planet is to the sun,the faster it moves because the suns gravitational pull is stronger.The answer tells you that the greater the distance,the slower the planet will rotate
The difference between matter and energy is that energy is produced from matter yet has no mass and is the capacity to do work while matter is the physical "stuff" in the universe. Matter needs energy to move.
