The Sun As A Source Of Energy

     

                                                            

The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy is a renewable energy because it will never end as long as the sun remains.

Solar energy is also pollution free because there are no harmful gases, chemicals,  or fly ash produced. Solar energy is the energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy with the help of photovoltaic cells.

The production cost of solar energy is zero. A photovoltaic cell can produce even in low sunlight so there is no cut in energy even on a rainy or cloudy day.

Plants also use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source.
