EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -The heat source for our planet is the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through the earth’s atmosphere to the earth’s surface. Since this energy warms the earth’s surface and atmosphere, some of it is or becomes heat energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radiant energy from the sun is the power source for weather. It drives the convective mixing in the troposphere which determines the atmospheric and surface weather conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sun heats layers of the atmosphere causing it to convect driving air movement and weather patterns around the world.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy of the sun is the original source of most of the energy found on earth. We get solar heat energy from the sun, and sunlight can also be used to produce electricity from solar (photovoltaic) cells. The sun heats the earth’s surface and the Earth heats the air above it, causing wind.
