Introduction Nuclear energy is the type of energy produced by a process known as fission. Electricity is generated in several ways such as using solar panels, coal burning, or maybe by capturing the heat from atoms that split apart. If electricity is produced from splitting atoms apart then it is called nuclear energy. Thermal power […]
What is Solar Energy? – Uses, Advantages, Disadvantages
Introduction For billions of years, energy has been produced by the sun. Solar energy is the sun’s beams (solar radiation) that reach the earth.
