The Effect of Dirtiness on Solar Panel Output__ Purpose: The purpose was to find out how much four years’ worth of grime will affect solar panel output Procedure: 1. Begin recording output from inverter for dirty solar panels 6 minutes and 35 seconds before apex of sun; record output every 5 seconds until 20 measurements have been recorded. Determine 5-second intervals by looking at stopwatch. 2. Use cleaning cloth and bucket of warm water to clean solar panels completely‚ taking 10

areas. The major one that is most related to solar winds is the Corona‚ the outermost area of the sun (). This is where the transition occurs for the charged bundles of plasma to become what we consider solar wind (). Most of the plasma in the sun is extremely hot and contains enough energy to escape the sun’s gravity (). This is how solar wind occurs for the most part. Solar winds have been categorized into two categories‚ slow solar wind‚ and fast solar wind (). The major difference between them

Solar disruption theory was one of several theories that emerged before the 18th century concerning the formation of the solar system. Solar disruption theory states that the collision of the sun with another stars caused debris to be ejected from its mass and these debris eventually became the planets. This theory was later discarded for the nebula theory of solar system formation. However there are some scientists that propose that it has some merit. The big question up until the 18th century

Geothermal Power [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic]The ground beneath our feet contains a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. All of this geothermal energy has the potential to generate geothermal power to provide large amounts of electricity. People have used geothermal energy in the form of hot springs for centuries‚ however‚ the first attempt to generate electricity from this energy source did not occur until the 20th century. The production of electricity from geothermal energy sources

Beginning Mercury‚ this paper will compare the nine planets and major moons of our solar system and describe their individual characteristics. At the end of this discussion‚ the habitability factor of these different worlds will be discussed as compared to that of the Earth ’s. A Brief History of the Sol System By radiocarbon dating meteorites‚ we know that roughly 4.6 billion years ago our solar system began. This happens when a cloud of gas and dust were disturbed and squeezed
