Radiant Energy The term radiant energy refers to energy that travels by waves or particles‚ particularly electromagnetic radiation such as heat or x-rays. Radiant energy is created through electromagnetic waves and was discovered in 1885 by Sir William Crookes. Fields in which this terminology is most often used are telecommunications‚ heating‚ radiometry‚ lighting‚ and in terms of energy created from the sun. Radiant energy is measured in joules.

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables

SOLAR SYSTEM About 5 Billion years ago‚ y There was no Sun‚ no Earth& no Moon y Only cosmic dust and gasses drifted in the darkness of space SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The solar system was formed by a slowly spinning cloud of gas and cosmic dust‚ gradually the cloud began to spin faster and faster this formed a large spinning whirl at the centre and smaller whirls surrounding it at various distances. SOLAR SYSTEM THEORY The huge and heavy centre became hot enough to start thermo nuclear

PROBLEMS SCIENTIST FACE IN PREVENTING THE REOCCURENCE OFMALIGNANT MELANOMA. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Whether it’s called malignant melanoma or simply melanoma‚ this cancer can metastasize (spread) rapidly. With early detection and proper treatment‚ melanoma has a high cure rate. Early detection and treatment are possible because melanoma typically begins on the surface of the skin. It develops when melanocytes are damaged‚ which causes these cells to grow uncontrollably. As
