Physics Of Energy

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,
