solar energy falling on the Earth in 1 hour is as much
energy consumption of the Earth’s entire population in 1 year
Sun Energy source: thermonuclear fusion in the core of
the Sun where hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium
nuclei. The energy from these fusion reactions migrates to the surface of the Sun where it appears as sunlight. The Sun’s surface behaves like a blackbody at a temperature of about 6000 K,
Shallow geothermal energy
Deep geothermal energy solar water heaters and heat a fluid solar thermal power systems. ~ 60–80◦C, photo-chemical or photophysical processes. wind power and wave power hydrogen nuclei, into a helium nucleus with an energy release of about 27 MeV. pressure in the gas cloud and at some point the gravitational attractive force is balanced by the gas pressure and equilibrium is reached.
