Exploring Different Energy Sources

What is solar energy?

• Energy generated by fossil fuels

• Energy from wind turbines

• Energy produced by nuclear reactions

• Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun's radiation.

How do solar panels work?

• Solar panels are used to store electricity for later use.

• Solar panels generate heat for water heating systems.

• Solar panels work by reflecting sunlight to create shadows.

• Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.

What is wind energy?

• Wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind, used to generate electricity or mechanical power.
