“Solar Radiation and its Effects on Planet Earth” The Sun emits a tremendous amount of energy‚ in the form of electromagnetic radiation‚ into space. If we could somehow build a gigantic ball around the Sun that completely enclosed it‚ and lined that ball with perfectly efficient photovoltaic solar panels‚ we could capture all of that energy and convert it to electricity and be set in terms of Earth ’s energy needs for a very long time. Lacking such a fanciful sphere‚ most of the Sun ’s energy

Since you have the red hair gene‚ you produce your own vitamin D. While sunlight may be the ginger’s kryptonite‚ in the right amount it is extremely beneficial. Our pale skin allows us to absorb more sunlight than other people and our bodies create more vitamin D than our darker haired companions. Our ability to absorb sunlight where it is seemingly nonexistent is our strength‚ but it is ironically our downfall in sunny climates. It turns out the

3/22/2013 Lab 1- The scientific method In this lab I am learning about the steps of the scientific method and how it can be applied to daily life. In my first exercise I analyzed data presented to me in a table (table 2) on fish population in relation to the amount of dissolved oxygen ( ppm ) in the water. The patterns indicate that when more dissolved oxygen (ppm) is present in the water‚ the number of fish observed increases. In developing a hypothesis for this theory‚ I have decided that if

Throughout the whole film‚ Grace was always making sure the blinds were shut in order for them to walk through any place that had doors or any sort of windows. They could not be around any type of sunlight whatsoever. Something I learned in Psychology

The tropical rainforest is a warm biome and ecosystem. An important tropical rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest. The latitude and longitude of the Amazon rainforest is 3.4653° S‚ 62.2159° W. The Amazon rainforest is very hot and moist. The average temperature of the tropical rainforest is 80°F. The average precipitation is 60 to 160 inches that is distributed evenly throughout the year. The tropical rainforest is suitable to many plant and animal life. It contains the most biodiversity

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP)‚ which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. Other technologies also exist‚ such as Stirling engine dishes which use a Stirling cycle engine to power a generator. Photovoltaics were initially‚ and still are‚ used to power small and medium-sized applications‚ from the

important aspect of the ecosystem. Water‚ sunlight‚ and rich soil are all key elements of plant growth and development. Balance is an important concept in plant growth‚ too much or too little water is harmful to plant. Water helps the plant by giving it key nutrients. Without water the plant becomes physically weak and it can’t stand on its own. Water and sunlight allows a plant to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis is the process where plans use sunlight‚ and water to create nutrients for its growth
