1 Power from the sun! By: Erica Anton & Mason Wise

2  Solar energy is energy we get from the sun  Solar Energy it is radiant energy emitted by the sun

3  Renewable  Solar energy is everywhere as long as the sun is up or behind the moon (it matters about the kind of weather).

4  Solar energy is located in the sun  2 ways to recover solar energy is with solar panels/solar farms and solar satellites.

5  A solar panel takes the sun’s energy  A box with a heat trapping, dark bottom, and a glass top captures the sun’s light to make energy.

6  All living things use solar energy.  It is easy to store and it is good for the environment.

7  It could cause less pollution  Plants and animals must adapt to “harsh” solar farms (it could disrupt many different ecosystems).

8 Advantages *Sun’s energy is free to use *The process is pollution free *Can be used in a wide variety of locations, wherever there is sun. Disadvantages *The cost of the solar panels are expensive. *Only works when the sun is shining

9  If we use solar energy/electricity, it could cause less pollution, because you would be using natural resources/sunlight.
