Why can't there be wind without the sun?
The sun heats the air which causes high and low pressure systems which results in wind. high to low.
Are sun and wind both sources of energy?
They are both sources of energy. The Sun's energy comes in the form of heat and light via electromagnetic waves at about 1.3 kilowatts per square metre. Wind energy is kinetic energy that is used to drive sails or wind turbines.
What was the weather like on explorers expeditions?
Weather is weather. Explorers had storms, no wind in their sails, rain, hurricanes, snow, hail, heat, sun, rain. You name it they experienced it.
Why is atmosphere absent in mercury?
Mercury has very high temperatures and is made up of hard rock. We are like a newborn baby - our planet can't resist such high temperatures, and that is why we have an atmosphere. Mercury can resist all that from the sun.
Is wind energy not from the sun?
Wind energy is indirectly derived from the sun. Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes air to move and generate kinetic energy that can be harnessed for wind power generation.
What part of the sun generates the solar wind?
The corona of the sun generates the solar wind. It is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, where temperatures are extremely high, causing particles to escape and form the solar wind that travels through the solar system.
What are the high energy particles that escape the sun's gravity collectively called?
The solar wind.
From where does most of the solar wind flow?
Most of the solar wind flows from the Sun's corona, which is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. The corona's high temperatures and continuous expansion contribute to the solar wind's emission into space.
What are streams of electrons and protons that shoot out from the suns corona?
Streams of protons and electrons emitted from the Sun produce a solar wind. This is a source of energy has been shown in science fiction as a method to power interstellar travel, using solar sails.
When was The Wind from the Sun created?
The Wind from the Sun was created in 1972.
Is it the wind or the actual sun that gets you sun burn?
It is ultraviolet radiation from the sun, not the wind.
Would there be wind without the sun?
There wouldn't be wind without the sun because of how the sun heats the Earth unevenly.Uneven heating of Earth causes wind.Without sun, there's no uneven heating, and without uneven heating there's no wind. No, there is no wind because the sun heats the air which cause high and low pressure systems which results in wind.
