Seasonal changes in water temperature tend to remain within a narrow range. This is opposed to air temperature, which tends to f
luctuate across a wide range. The relative stability of ocean temperatures helps to regulate the temperatures of coastal regions. Why can water remain within a narrow range of temperatures?
Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of unit mass of a substance by one degree.
Specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kg K and that of air is 1 kJ/kg K. Thus, a given amount of heat will cause more change in the temperature of air than that of water.
Sunlight comes in the form of light energy. Upon striking the solar panels, it converts the light energy into electrical energy so as to run throughout the circuits. Then since it's used to power light, the electrical energy will be converted back into light energy
