Natural resources: Sun
by: harneet 7c
What is the sun?
As you all may know the sun is the star at the center of the Solar system. It is a renewable resource meaning it can be replaced once used again and again.The sun provides us with heat, energy ,light and vitamin D. Without the sun the earth would be a cold ,dark universe.The sun our local star, is the life source for earth, If the sun died, so would like on earth. As you can see the sun is a really important part in our everyday life.
Why do we need the Sun?
The sun is really important because it provides us with a lot of resources such as light ,heat ,energy , vitamin D ,helps grow our food and most importantly it helps keep us alive if it weren't for the sun none of us would be here. Without sunlight our plants ,fruits and vegetables could not grow and most importantly we can't see without sunlight. If there were no heat we all would freeze to death which isn't the best feeling.
The sun provides us with electricity!
The sun transfers energy into the solar panels which helps provides us with energy.
The sun provides us heat!
Without the help of the suns heat we all wouldn't have been here and the earth would have had a cold atmosphere.
The sun provides us with light to our plants, fruits , vegetables and food!
The sun provides photosynthesis to the plants and without the help of the sun we would not have been able to grow our vegetables and fruits.
Impacts of solar energy on the people and environment
Solar: Impact on the Environment
Sounds from Thursday night by Harneet pabla
What are some negative and positive Impact on the people and environment?
Some negative impacts on the people and environment for solar energy are that solar panels are very costly for most people to use and you need a lot of open space. Solar panels are also made up of chemicals that can kill a human and damage there lungs.
Some positive impacts on the people and environment for solar energy are that it is good for the environment and does not leave a carbon foot print like nuclear energy. Another great impact the sun has is that it gives us light ,heat and electricity which helps the people and environment a lot! Although there are some negative impacts there are also positive impacts which is very good!
Process of extracting solar energy
We extract solar energy by using solar panels. Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun. It is usually obtained by the use of solar panels. These solar panels reflect a certain amount of sunlight but also are able to attract some in order to be transferred into usable energy.
How can we reduce the severity of the negative impacts?
The way i think we can reduce the severity of the negative impacts are that we can reduce the cost of solar panels so more people can be able to afford to buy solar panels. I also think the sizes of solar panels should be reduced so people don't have to have open space in order to have solar panels.These are just a few things that we can change.
