2 That's the size of Arizona!The sun weighs about 330,000 times more than the earth. _3 In fact, the sun is so huge that it contains 99.85% of all mass in our solar system.Footprints left on the moon won't disappear as there is no wind. But wait a minute. _4_ Well, it ...
The Sun generates solar wind. The wind is a stream of charged particles. This travels at approximately 450 kilometres per second through the solar system. Solar wind occurs when the magnetic field of the Sun extends into space. Sol is the Latin for Sun This is where the word “solar” com...

Fact 16:The oil crisis of 1970 revealed the delicate nature of fossil fuels as a source of energy for the world. As such, research in the alternative, renewable energy technology like that of solar and wind energy gained momentum. Fact 17:Solar energy is being recognized as the future of ...
35 Interesting Facts About Wind Energy Fact 1:Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. Wind turbines take the wind’s kinetic energy and convert it into mechanical energy. The generators then convert that mechanical energy into electrical energy. For example, windmil...
Interesting Space FactsAs time goes by, technological advancements have made us learn more facts about space in the past century than in all time before that. We’ve already searched the universe for the most amazing space facts, including facts about the planets in our solar system, moons, ...
The Sun is made of gas, which is charged by it’s electric energy. This created a magnetic field, which spreads throughout our entire solar system, carried by a solar wind. After 11 years, the magnetic field of the Sun effectively flips, so the North pole becomes the South, and vice ...
Auroras, also known as the Northern and Southern Lights (aurora borealis and aurora australis, respectively), are natural light displays in Earth's polar regions. They occur when charged particles from the sun — sometimes called solar wind — collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, produc...
Solar energy: 5.6 cent/KWh (with subsidies) 7.2 cent/KWh (without subsidies) Wind energy: 1.4 cent/KWh (with subsidies) 3.7 cent/KWh (without subsidies) Natural gas: 6.1 cent/KWh Coal: 6.6 cent/KWh What about renewable-energy tax credits and incentives?
This model comprehensively simulates all the dominant physical processes, including solar radiation, building-resolved flow, heat and mass transfer fields, aerodynamic, shadowing, transpirative effects of trees, evaporative cooling, and heat and water storage in urban surface materials.Specifically, we ...
