NASA: Why does the Sun Matter for Earth’s Energy Budget?

Earth's energy budget is a metaphor for the delicate equilibrium between energy received from the Sun versus energy radiated back out in to space. Research into precise details of Earth's energy budget is vital for understanding how the planet's climate may be changing, as well as variabilities in solar energy output. Missions like NASA's TSIS will help scientists keep a close watch. NASA's Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor, or TSIS-1, is a mission to measure the sun's energy input to Earth. Various satellites have captured a continuous record of this solar energy input since 1978. TSIS-1 sensors advance previous measurements, enabling scientists to study the sun's natural influence on Earth's ozone layer, atmospheric circulation, clouds, and ecosystems. These observations are ess...

Now that the batch water heater is done, we can move onto installing the water heater inside the house. We still have some odds and ends to complete before we can get back to having normal home amenities, but we want to do things right the first time. It's not just about hooking something up as quickly as we can. It's about thinking ahead and relying on as few moving parts and people as possible. Being able to store the sun's energy in a water tank, just get...

Where Does the Sun's Energy Come From?

Every 1.5 millionths of a second, the sun releases more energy than all humans consume in an entire year. Without the sun there would be no light, no warmth, and no life. Its heat influences the environments of all the planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system. How does a big ball of hydrogen create all that heat? Comprehension Questions: 1. Every _____ millionths of a second, the Sun releases more energy than all humans consume in an entire year. 2. True or False: If our Sun were smaller, it would be similar to the gas giant Jupiter. 3. Which new element is created from the Sun’s hydrogen atoms colliding with great force? 4. About how hot (in degrees Fahrenheit) does the Sun get at its core? 5. Name one thing that the Sun’s energy emits. Answer Key: 1. 1....

Energy from the Sun

Purchase: http://hilaroad.com/video/ With some very simple equipment and knowledge of basic math it is possible to estimate the power output of the sun. This video describes the process and explains the calculations. The video leaves a challenge, use the results to calculate the total energy arriving at the earth each second and using E=mc^2, calculate the mass loss of the sun.

Harnessing The Sun And Wind: Inside Our Renewable Energy Future | Climate For Change | Ep 2/2

In the second chapter of this two-part documentary series, daring people and enterprises take wind and solar energy to new frontiers across Asia through groundbreaking renewable energy projects. Deploying renewable energy projects on new terrain or on the sea is challenging but it's transforming the region for good. The programme features the installation of the world's largest nearshore floating solar energy testbed in seawater, SUNSEAP's 5MW floating solar system on the straits of Johor, north of Singapore. The sea presents new challenges and they must innovate to cope with fluctuating tides, waves, as well as wildlife, in order to send electricity back to the mainland. The show also features the pioneering work of The Blue Circle, a wind energy company based in Singapore, as thei...

Clean Energy Source That Can Outperform the Sun and Wind

With the onset of climate change in the 21st century, humanity has realized that the excessive consumption of fossil fuels leads to global and irreversible consequences. And we have desperately began to look for a clean alternative in the form of solar, wind, and ocean energy. But so far, these sources of green energy do not give the desired result. Wind and sun are fickle and difficult to predict. But there is another clean source of energy – an underestimated and stable one that can outperform the sun and wind. And in this video, we will tell about it. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Iceland was one of the poorest countries in Europe. Coal, peat, and later oil were used to generate electricity, heating, and hot water. Unknown to them, the country literally sat on free energy ...

Using solar panels like THIS is a no-brainer! California’s doing it

@UCMerced scientists are thinking of other, smarter ways we can use #solar — like saving #water #California is about to try an idea that could save billions of gallons of water each year and produce enough clean energy to power a city the size of Los Angeles for nine months of the year. The simple but brilliant concept? Cover California’s roughly 4,000 miles of aqueducts with solar canopies. #solarenergy #waterconservation ➡️ Read more about this research at: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/fig1 ——— 📺 Subscribe! http://bit.ly/1fUWHyY Fig. 1 explores big ideas —from science to culture to history to psychology — and the brilliant minds behind it. 💡 Find more Fig. 1 at: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/fig1

01 Sun and Water make Hydrogen for Clean Energy

See how the sun and water together make Hydrogen for clean energy. I'm incredibly excited by their potential to power things, including my house. Solar energy can create Hydrogen through a process called Water Electrolysis. Hydrogen can then be stored and used by Fuel Cells to create Electricity when the sun's not shining.

These observations are essential for a scientific understanding of the effects of solar variability on the Earth system. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center manages the project. The University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) built both instruments and provides mission operations. The International Space Station carries TSIS-1.
