Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

Market Analysis Opportunities India had an installed solar power capacity of 1700 MW in 2007 which amounted to roughly 1% of its total power generation of 130‚000 MW. India is currently ranked 7th in the world in Solar PV cell production. But considering India’s geographic location and climatic conditions‚ this is a huge market waiting to be tapped. India receives bright sunlight almost throughout the year especially in West and Central parts of the country. Due to global warming and rising CO2

The Power of Solar Storms To Our Fragile Planet Natural disasters occur when least expected all over the world. Disasters affect countless lives and cost millions of dollars. Hurricanes‚ tornados‚ and tsunamis occur with such regularity throughout the world that society has developed warning systems and is prepared to rebound from these disasters as quickly as possible. One disaster that most people do not think about is solar storms. Research shows that solar storms have been documented since the

Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity Solar Absorbers and the Future of Electricity By James Folta Electricity is what we use to power things at home or at school. You can probably look around right now and see an electrical outlet or two. Everything that we plug into one of these outlets uses electricity. But where does this electricity come from? Right now we have a few ways to make electricity. Some are better than others. There are some scientists who are trying to find

The Solar System My project is about the Solar System. The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbits the Sun. The Solar System consists of moon‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ minor planets‚ dust and gas. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is the more gravity it has. The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. After the sun is Mercury‚ the innermost planet in the

Solar System About 4‚700 million years ago‚ the Solar System was just a spinning disc of dust and gas. The dust began to collect together and our Sun formed at the centre. Around Sun‚ lumps of rock joined up to form smaller bodies and‚ like the Sun‚ they heated up. But because they were smaller they soon cooled down and became planets. Sun accounts for 99.85 per cent of mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets

SOLAR SYSTEM PLANETS MERCURY • The closest planet to the sun‚ Mercury is only a bit larger than Earth’s moon. Its day side is scorched by the sun and can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius)‚ but on the night side‚ temperatures drop to hundreds of degrees below freezing. VENUS • The second planet from the sun‚ Venus is terribly hot‚ even hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere is toxic. The pressure at the surface would crush and kill you. Scientists describe Venus’ situation as a runaway greenhouse

Why Do We Need Solar Energy? With the world’s natural resources depleting rapidly‚ humans must find a way to compensate. This society has milked oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ lead‚ uranium‚ and many other of these reservoirs in our Earth for hundreds of years and much has been done. Asphalt was used for our roads and highways‚ coal was originally used for heat before there was oil‚ and even water was used as a form of electricity on many rural farms. Luckily‚ more companies around the world are waking
