Cause/Effect: Solar Energy Solar radiation is an energy resource many times larger than mankind’s energy needs. Mankind has been able to capture/harness this energy resource‚ but only on a limited scale. Mankind has found that the use of the sun was quite useful. They used it to grow and dry crops‚ dry clothing‚ produce heat‚ and for light. The sun is a sphere‚ on the inside of the sun there is a continuous process of fusion in which hydrogen nuclei combine to from helium nuclei. There is less
