Jason is investigating how energy from the Sun drives convection in the atmosphere. He wants to draw a diagram showing what happens to air when it is heated by the Sun during the process of convection. Which diagram should he draw? A He should draw a diagram that shows cool air in Earth's atmosphere rising. B He should draw a diagram that shows cool air near Earth's surface rising. C He should draw a diagram that shows warm air in Earth's atmosphere sinking. D He should draw a diagram that shows warm air near Earth's surface rising.
The best solar panels currently available are about 19% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh=1 kilowatt hour; 1kW=1000J/s). Assuming 8.1 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical home’s electricity. The energy rate supplied by the sun is 1.0kJ/s times meters squared  . Area =           meters squared
The photovoltaic systems are designed based on “Peak Sun Hours.” What is peak sun hour?
